During his two seasons there, he threw for 6,963 yards, 70 touchdowns, and only 14 interceptions, while completing 68.4% of his passes. After his sophomore season, Deion Sanders left Jackson State to become the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, and Shedeur followed him.

The Colorado Buffaloes announced this week they will retire the jersey numbers of both Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders.

Hunter's No. 12 and Sanders' No. 2 will become the fifth and sixth jersey numbers retired by Colorado. Also on that list are Byron White's No. 24 (worn from 1936-37), Joe Romig's No. 67 (worn from 1959-61), Bobby Anderson's No. 11 (worn from 1967-69) and Rashaan Salaam's No. 19 (worn from 1993-94).
