ciach prime: Coach Prime beams with pride as he facetimes with Jeremiah Brown following his graduation

Coach Prime has shown his appreciation for Colorado Buffaloes linebacker Jeremiah Brown on more than one occasion. Deion Sanders had a video call with the player following Brown's graduation and showed the player his appreciation. The exchange was posted on Sanders' Instagram on Wednesday.

"I'm proud of you, dawg," Coach Prime said. "I'm proud of you, because you came to Jackson as a great student and now you end it as a great student. So, do your thing, my brother. Let me help you get wherever you wanna go. On and off the field. So, I got you."

Coach Prime's conversation with Brown was a reminder of the close relationship the Colorado head coach has developed with his players.

Sanders originally recruited Brown to Jackson State in 2022, but the linebacker transferred to Colorado with the coach ahead of the 2023 season. Since arriving in Boulder, the linebacker has 21 tackles and two pass breakups.

After finding little playing time in Colorado, the Carrabelle, Florida, native entered the transfer portal after the 2024 season. However, he eventually withdrew his name, returning to Boulder for a third and possible final season with the Buffaloes.

While Brown has mainly been used on special teams, he could see the field more often after Nikhai Hill-Green departed from the squad.

Before transferring to Colorado, the linebacker had 22 tackles, five sacks and a forced fumble at Jackson State.

Brown and the Buffaloes will open the 2025 season at home against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Aug. 29 at Folson Field. They are coming off a 9-4 record and a trip to the Alamo Bowl.

Coach Prime looking for a quarterback of the future in Colorado?

The Colorado Buffaloes already have Kaidon Salter and JuJu Lewis competing for the starting job ahead of the 2025 season. Could there be another option for 2026 and beyond?

Coach Prime extended an offer to four-star Michigan State commit Kayd Coffman. Despite his commitment to the Spartans, Coffman has received at least 10 other college offers.

Coffman, a Grand Rapids, Michigan, native, is considered the No. 32-ranked Class of 2026 quarterback. However, his skills on the field have drawn the attention of different top-level programs.

Salter, a senior and former Liberty transfer, will likely play only one season for the Buffaloes. But Lewis, the No. 10 signal-caller in the Class of 2025 according to 247 Sports, is expected to become the quarterback of the future in Boulder.

Allan studied Communications at Anáhuac University, where he learned what would become the basis of a trade that was already a dream of his before starting college.

His favorite team is Army West Point as when he was young, Allan lived in West Point for a couple of years, went to pretty much every home game, a couple of Army-Navy games and even got to meet some of the players.

Allan's favorite players of all time include Tommie Frazier, who was unbelievable during the Nebraska dynasty of the early 90's. Tim Tebow was also a favorite, mainly because of his leadership skills, although he was also awesome on the football field. As a fan of defensive football, (or what's left of it), Sean Taylor could take over a game for Miami.

Allan has always considered himself a student of the game more than a fan of it. So the historical part and evolution of the game, as well as the ins and outs of what happens on the field, and being able to put it into words for the audience, are his biggest strengths.

Besides sports, Allan enjoys reading books, watching movies and spending time with his dogs.
