  "account": "Deion Sanders dismissed three cornerbacks from the Colorado Buffaloes during the 2023 season, according to a spokesperson for the team. The dismissed players were Jah Jah Boyd, Justin Eaglin, and Paul Omodia. Sanders first announced the dismissals on September 22, following a 41-7 loss to Northwestern. He stated that the firings were not a team-wide decision, but rather the removal of a few individuals he deemed as \"knuckleheads.\" Sanders made another reference to the dismissals after a 23-13 loss to Baylor. During his tenure in Boulder, Sanders had previously cut players during his four seasons. The dismissed cornerbacks had varying levels of success under Sanders. Boyd played in four games for Indiana's 2025 national title team, recording 13 tackles and a forced fumble. He had 61 snaps in his 26 games at Colorado. Eaglin, who started 14 of his 26 games at James Madison, appeared twice for the Buffs. Omodia made 13 starts at Lamar, topping the Southland Conference with 14 forced incompletions. Colorado now starts the 2023 season with three fewer cornerbacks than it originally had.",
