QB Shedeur Sanders participates in the first in-person speech in Colorado in more than a year

University of Colorado Quarterback Shedeur Sanders attended an in-person lecture on campus for the first time recently, more than a year after enrolling as a student, according to a video posted on your YouTube channel Wednesday.

The video shows him being followed by cameramen as he enters a chemistry class in Boulder, causing a silent stir during the lecture as other students notice him and the cameras.

“Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve been to an in-person class?” Sanders says in the video after leaving the classroom.

His nine-minute video is titled “Shedeur Sanders participates in in-person speaking engagement for the first time.”

That doesn’t mean he didn’t attend classes. Just not in person.

But college isn’t what it used to be.

Just ask Shedeur’s father, Colorado football coach Deion Sanders.

In January, “Coach Prime” talked about it during a podcast with host Bret Boone, his former baseball teammate with the Cincinnati Reds.

“It’s so different now, man, because most of school is online,” Deion Sanders said. “Like, they go to class and I’m like, ‘You guys are missing the best part of college – being on campus and hanging out and building the atmosphere and building relationships on campus with other students outside of football.’ That’s the best part, but now that you have so many kids, they’re just online. I don’t even know if Shedeur took any classes on campus in his college career.”

Shedeur Sanders is a senior sociology major at Colorado in his second year at the university after transferring from Jackson State and enrolling at CU in January 2023.

“It’s actually not that uncommon, especially for student-athletes, whose class, practice and competition schedules can become very complex,” said CU Boulder spokesman Steve Hurlbert in response to a question about learning. only online at the university.

Meanwhile, Shedeur Sanders has other responsibilities. He’s in the middle of spring football practice, which ends with the annual spring game on April 27.
