According to Kordell Stewart, Coach Prime has done an outstanding job and it's evident with key players like Jackson State's Travis, Shilo and Shedeur following him. HBCU athletes are often associated with skill positions like receivers or running backs rather than more physical roles in the trenches. But Sanders has flipped the script by bringing in top talent for these positions, proving that HBCU players are not limited to certain roles. These athletes performed well on the field, silencing doubters and showing the impact of Sanders' leadership.

Now that you're seeing these kids get a chance, from the Cams to the Shilo's to the Shedeurs, you start to cross over when you start to see these guys out here, Brown too, on the offensive line, the from where he came from in the state of Jackson,” Kordell added, praising the “balanced” Sanders team in Boulder.
