University of Colorado head coach Dion Sanders on Wednesday was relieved he was OK after missing out on the school’s annual soccer camp camp.
According to USA Today, Sanders deals with “unspecified health issues.” Not only did he miss the camp, he was scheduled to speak at a symposium hosted by Sickle Cell Disease Research on June 8th, but withdrew due to “an inevitable last minute scheduling change.”
Writing on X on Wednesday, Sanders, 57, said:
“I can assure you that everything is okay and that it will continue to be. God is unique in my opinion. I have more to do to praise Him, so trust that God has got me! I’m excited to return home with my staff, team and everyone involved in our program.
USA Today also said Sanders’ son, Deion Sanders Jr., appeared on a YouTube live stream from his Texas family home over the weekend, saying his father was “feeling better” and “will tell you what he’s going through right away.”
When contacted by CNN, the University of Colorado declined to comment on Sanders’ health reports.
Sanders, who is about to enter his third year at school, had surgery to thrombotically on both legs in 2023, but avoided amputation.
Two years ago, he cut two toes due to a blood clot while being the head coach at Jackson State.
