Colorado confirms identities of three players kicked off team by Deion Sanders
The University of Colorado has confirmed the identities of the three players recently kicked off the team by coach Deion Sanders
Colorado football coach Deion Sanders removed three players from the team following a 41-7 loss to Northwestern on September 19. The dismissed players, Jah Jah Boyd, Paul Omodia, and Justin Eaglin, are all defensive backs who joined Colorado this year from other colleges. Their identities were erased from the team's roster and website before the homecoming game against Texas Tech on October 3.
Prior to the Northwestern game, Sanders praised Boyd, stating he was the highest-graded safety in Week 2 after leading the team with nine tackles against Weber State. Boyd's impact at Colorado was significant, earning high ratings from Pro Football Focus. Sanders admitted to removing the three players after the Northwestern loss, calling them "knuckleheads" who were detrimental to the team.
He confirmed their removal to USA TODAY Sports. The three players, whose names are not mentioned, did not comment on the matter. Colorado's record stands at 2-2 heading into their game against Texas Tech, following a 3-9 season last year.
