No coach has done more for their stock through the first few weeks of the 2023 college football season than Deion Sanders

Sanders took a Colorado program that went 1-11 last year and completely overhauled the roster in one offseason. So far, the results have been excellent. 

Unsurprisingly, there has been a ton of speculation about Sanders' future in college football. Plenty of people are convinced he'll eventually leave Colorado.  

During an appearance on "The Audible with Stew & Bruce," ESPN's Paul Finebaum named Florida as a landing spot that would make a ton of sense for Sanders.

“You’ve got a brand new president there in former Sen. Ben Sasse who is a forward-thinking guy who would look at Deion [Sanders] and go, ‘I like this.’ I think he could consider this the ticket,” Finebaum said. “It is considered as one of the premier public universities in the country. They just finished No. 1 in a poll and I think Deion fits their make up very well.

“The fact that he played at Florida State makes it even more intriguing and more enticing for Deion. How do you not be attracted by that fertile recruiting ground down there?”

Colorado is currently 2-0 with victories over TCU and Nebraska. Next up is a showdown with Colorado State.

If Sanders continues to thrive in Boulder, it won't be long before other teams try to acquire his services.
