Deion Sanders might have a Big 12 Conference champion, College Football Playoff team.
And Coach Prime likewise might have one, if not two, Heisman Trophy finalists in two-way sensation Travis Hunter and star quarterback, as well as his son, Shedeur Sanders.
Now, Coach Prime wants to add some Prime hardware to the college football awards landscape.
The former Thorpe Award winner during his FSU playing days and College Football Hall of Famer explained his stance Tuesday, even jokingly calling out his athletics director, Rick George, who was in the room during the press conference.
"Travis is the best defensive player and the best offensive player in the country," Sanders said. "So, if that stabilizes and authenticates who he is, so let it be.
"But, I don't see anybody better, I don't see anybody projected better, and the scouts will tell you. He should win the Thorpe. Biletnikoff, the Jerry Rice, the Prime award. He should win every dern away they got.
"Matter of fact, why don't they have me an award, Rick?"
The Thorpe Award goes to the nation's top defensive back, and the Biletnikoff is for its best wideout; the Jerry Rice is an FCS honor, which Shedeur Sanders won during his 2021 freshman season at Jackson State.
Deion Sanders was just getting started on his campaign for the Prime Award.
"Wouldn't that be good, for the players who play for me to win the Prime?," he asked, smiling. "They should. The best corner in college football should be called the Prime."
Beyond wanting an award that bears his name, Coach Prime also dismissed any thoughts that his Buffaloes, who battle Kansas this week in Kansas City and can punch a CFP ticket with three more wins, might be feeling pressure or fearing a letdown.
"We don't think about letdowns, we think about dominating," he said. "The word of the morning was finish. We talked about finishing. I showed them a clip of a gentleman who came from this same college as another gentleman and they were running these hurdles and it came down the stretch to the end.
"After they hit the last hurdle, they were neck-and-neck. And next thing you know, 3 yards from the finish line one dove and one didn't. The one who dove wanted it a little bit more than the other, although they came from the same institution of learning. We're going to be the one that dove; we're going to finish with every dern thing we got."
And pressure?
"Look at me, man: Do I look like I subscribe to pressure, or apply it?," he asked. "We apply it. We apply pressure."
