"I pray things work out for family": Colorado HC Deion Sanders pens hearfelt note for CB Israel Solomon's father following transfer decision

Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders lost another player to the transfer portal a few days ago. Cornerback Israel Solomon had decided to enter the portal following a redshirt 2023 season for the Buffs.

After Solomon's transfer decision, his father took to social media to share a post where he expressed his gratitude to Deion Sanders and the Colorado football team for giving his son the opportunity to be a part of the team in Boulder.

Coach Prime was moved by the heartfelt note written by Israel Solomon's father. He responded to the tweet on X by saying that he sends his well wishes for the cornerback's football future and hopes that everything works out,

"You're a great father my brother and I pray things work out for the family. You truly sacrificed for your son and family and that's appreciated truly. God bless u my brother and keep the standard the standard. Love ya man!"

Israel Solomon joined the Colorado Buffaloes' team last season after being a standout in the IMG Academy. Despite redshirting his debut season under Deion Sanders, Solomon was viewed as a prospect to potentially be a great player on the field. The 6-foot, 180-pound cornerback also showcased incredible skills during Colorado's 2024 Spring Day game.

Apart from football, Israel Solomon also had a good academic track record in Colorado. He managed to maintain a 3.5 GPA since coming to Boulder and now becomes the eighth defensive back to leave the team.
