- NCAA. Deion Sanders and Colorado Buffaloes send a strong message to players without a team
Travis Hunter, the Jacksonville Jaguars rookie and former Colorado star, married longtime girlfriend Leanna Lenee in a beautiful ceremony in Chattanooga on May 24. It was a moment years in the making, after a love story that began with a simple Instagram DM back in 2022. The wedding was packed with friends and loved ones, but fans were quick to notice one major absence: the Sanders family.
Despite being known as "Coach Prime's fourth son," Hunter's special day came and went without Deion Sanders, Shedeur, or Shilo in attendance. Even so, Deion Sanders Jr., aka "Bucky", took a break from his flashy lifestyle content to send Travis a sincere and public apology in one of his recent YouTube videos.
"Congratulations to Travis for getting married. He knows why we couldn't be there," Deion Jr. said with an emotional tone.
Busy schedules, real emotions
The Sanders family has been in the thick of football and media commitments, and while no specific reason was given for their absence, it was clear the omission wasn't out of neglect. Coach Prime even shared a touching message on Instagram, blessing the couple and calling Hunter a "prayerful partner" sent by God.
The apology from Deion Jr. wasn't a throwaway line, it felt heartfelt. Amidst his usual YouTube content showing off the family estate, luxury toys, and "rich people stuff," he paused to recognize the significance of Travis's moment and his own regret for missing it.
Bucky's song sets the vibe
Even without a physical presence, Deion Jr. still made an impact, through music. His song "All Fall Down," written as a tribute to his brothers Shedeur and Shilo during their football struggles, became the unofficial anthem of the wedding.
When the track hit the speakers, the energy in the room shifted. Hunter and his friends lit up the dance floor, and the song became a celebration of friendship, resilience, and loyalty.
Family runs deeper than appearances
Though the Sanders family didn't show up in person, their bond with Travis Hunter remains strong. From birthday wishes to emotional shoutouts, it's clear this is more than just a football connection, it's family. And in true Sanders fashion, even from afar, they found a way to make their presence felt.
