The son of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, safety Shilo Sanders has started every game for the Buffaloes so far this season. Deion Sanders made headlines this past week after joking that neither of his sons were going to the NFL after this season, leading many to speculate about both of the Sanders’ NFL futures.

Coach Prime said Shilo & Shedeur ain’t going to the NFL next year 😂

Is Shilo Sanders Draft-Eligible?

While Shedeur Sanders has been the focus of virtually all of the media attention, Shilo Sanders is also eligible for the 2024 NFL Draft.

Sanders was part of the 2019 recruiting class. Per NFL rules, a prospect must be removed from high school three years to be draft-eligible. With the COVID rules, Sanders has two years of college eligibility remaining for the 2023 and 2024 seasons.

Sanders spent two years at South Carolina, appearing in just 13 games and finishing on the SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll in 2019. Afterward, Sanders joined his father at Jackson State, where he earned Second-Team All-SWAC in 2021 before following him to Colorado for this season.

However, Sanders has yet to break out on the national radar for draft coverage. Per Mock Draft Database, Sanders has yet to be featured in a single mock draft for this upcoming draft.

Sanders will be looking to capitalize on a huge performance in Week 3 against in-state rival Colorado State. Sanders finished with five tackles but forced a fumble and had a pivotal pick-six that helped Colorado win.

It’s hard to definitively answer about Sanders’ NFL future with his draft stock slow to build, but Sanders can return for one more season to try and build his stock further before declaring.

Shilo Sanders Background

Sanders isn’t just a product of being his father’s son. He began earning scholarship offers in 2017 from many familiar FBS teams. The UCF Knights and Oregon State Beavers were the first FBS teams to offer Sanders a scholarship, followed by Syracuse, Texas A&M, Oregon, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida State, and South Carolina.

He was rated as a three-star prospect out of Cedar Hill, Texas, and a three-star transfer prospect by 247sports. He was the 62nd cornerback in the country and the 83-ranked player out of Texas. ESPN had him as the 287th-best player in the ESPN300 rankings.

So far at Colorado, he’s outperformed both of those ratings. If he continues on his trajectory, Sanders will be a viable prospect for the 2024 or 2025 NFL Draft class. Our Scouting team will be watching closely to see if Sanders joins his brother as an emerging riser throughout the year.

Deion Sanders has brought plenty of fireworks and spectacle to the Colorado Buffaloes program as their head coach, but well before his days as a college coach, Sanders was bringing flair to the college gridiron with his play across multiple sports before entering the NFL Draft. Sanders’ collegiate feats brought plenty of attention and helped earn him both NFL and MLB contracts.

Deion Sanders’ Collegiate Feats

Sanders played college football at Florida State but was actually a three-sport athlete for the Seminoles. Sanders was a legendary cornerback for the Seminoles while also playing baseball and running track.

On the football field, Sanders doubled as an elite cornerback and punt returner whose records still stand today.

Sanders collected a total of 14 interceptions while returning four for touchdowns, a number still tied for the Florida State career record. Sanders still holds the FSU career record for number of punt returns and punt return yardage.

Sanders was a unanimous All-American during his junior and senior seasons and won the Thorpe Award as the nation’s best defensive back his senior year. Sanders was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2011.

By many accounts, Sanders enjoyed a collegiate career that was more akin to folklore. In the words of the Tallahassee Democrat, “The fictional All-America athlete who could do it all has come to life. He resides in right field for Florida State.”

These words were written in response to Sanders pulling off another athletic marvel. In between two baseball games, including the championship game Sanders helped Florida State get to, he ran with the track team. Just a couple of hours after playing a full game in the outfield, Sanders clocked a 10.3 in the 100m while still in his baseball pants.

Sanders earned All-America honors as a sprinter on FSU’s 4×100 relay team and played in the College World Series as an outfielder on the baseball team.

All of these feats helped Sanders earn professional accolades, where he also enjoyed plenty of success. Sanders was selected fifth overall in the 1989 NFL Draft, playing 14 years for the Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Washington, and Baltimore Ravens.

A 2011 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, he played in eight Pro Bowls, was named the 1994 AP Defensive Player of the Year, and won two Super Bowls.

Sanders also played nine seasons of Major League Baseball for the New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds, and San Francisco Giants. He is the only player in history to play in a Super Bowl and a World Series.

Is Ohio State WR Marvin Harrison Jr. eligible for the 2024 NFL Draft, and will he be able to go pro after the 2023 campaign? Here’s a look at Harrison’s current eligibility and where he stands in the 2024 NFL Draft WR class.

Is Marvin Harrison Jr. Draft-Eligible?

The short answer is: He can go pro now. But the question “Why can’t Marvin Harrison Jr. go pro?” is one many people were asking during Harrison’s terrific 2022 season.

In 2022, Harrison caught 77 passes for 1,263 yards and 14 touchdowns, putting himself in contention for the Biletnikoff Award — given annually to the best wide receiver in college football. The award was ultimately given to Tennessee WR Jalin Hyatt, but Harrison was still a unanimous All-American and a first-team All-Big Ten honoree.

Harrison’s tape in 2022 was easily good enough for him to be considered as an NFL Draft prospect already. Many evaluators contest that Harrison would have been the WR1 of the 2023 NFL Draft class — over first-round picks like Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Zay Flowers, Quentin Johnston, and Jordan Addison.

Unfortunately, Harrison was not yet eligible for the 2023 NFL Draft after the 2022 season, and that’s why he was unable to go pro at the time.

Harrison was only a true sophomore in 2022. In order to be eligible for the NFL Draft, players must be at least three years removed from high school. Once past this three-year threshold, underclassmen can declare early and forgo the remaining seasons of their college eligibility.

As the 2023 season carries on, Harrison is now a true junior. Once he sees out his third campaign at the collegiate level, he will indeed be eligible for the 2024 NFL Draft, and he’ll be able to finally go pro — a long-anticipated endeavor for the son of Indianapolis Colts Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison Sr.

Harrison Is an Elite Pro Prospect in the 2024 NFL Draft

Harrison is one of the best WR prospects in recent memory, and some evaluators — myself included — believe he’s close to the generational tier. He’s comfortably the preliminary WR1 in the 2024 NFL Draft class amid a talented group that includes teammate Emeka Egbuka, LSU’s Malik Nabers, FSU’s Keon Coleman, Washington’s Rome Odunze, and others.
