Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about Deion Sanders lately, especially with what he’s been doing at the University of Colorado. It got me thinking, where did this guy actually go to college? I mean, he’s been such a big name in sports for so long, it felt like I should know this.
So, I started digging around. First, I remembered he played for the Atlanta Falcons, like, way back when he first hit the scene. A quick search reminded me that he arrived there 35 years ago. That’s a long time! This made me realize that his college days were a while back.
Then, I stumbled upon some stuff about him giving a pep talk to his players at Colorado. It sounded like something out of a movie, you know, like those old-school coaches like Knute Rockne or Woody Hayes. But it still didn’t answer my main question: where did he get his education?
Finally, I hit the jackpot. Turns out, he attended Florida State back in the day. But here’s the kicker: he never actually graduated from there. Who knew? Instead, in 2020, he ended up graduating from Talladega College in Alabama. That’s an HBCU, which is a Historically Black College or University.
My Takeaway
- Deion Sanders went to Florida State but didn’t graduate.
- He later graduated from Talladega College in 2020.
- He considers himself an HBCU alum rather than an FSU alum.
So, there you have it. It’s kinda cool, right? He went to a big-name school like Florida State, but he identifies more with his HBCU roots. It just goes to show, sometimes the path to where you end up isn’t always a straight line.
