Takeaways from Deion Sanders' press conference before Arizona State

Colorado Buffaloes running back Richard Young capitalized on a career-high performance against Kansas State with 120 rushing yards and two touchdowns, solidifying his starting role for the upcoming matchup against Arizona State. Head coach Deion Sanders confirmed Young will return to the lineup this weekend, though the exact workload remains uncertain despite his standout effort.

Sanders also addressed the team’s quarterback situation, noting that Julian Lewis is recovering well after a medical emergency during practice last week, though no timeline for his return has been provided. Beyond player updates, Sanders hinted at the impact of recent struggles on the 2027 recruiting class, pausing before acknowledging concerns among prospects about his future at the program—though he ultimately declined to elaborate further.

The Buffaloes, now riding a momentum-building overtime win over Kansas State, aim to build on that success ahead of the road game against Arizona State.
