🧳 Coach Prime Sends the Luggage Again

And This Time, It Comes With a 1-of-1 Rookie Card

Let’s talk about the best recruiting flex in the game right now:
Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffs just dropped a custom trading card pack to offer a cornerback.

Yeah. Not a PDF. Not a tweet.
A whole-ass box with a graded 1-of-1 card inside. That’s how you say “we want you” in Prime.

💼 The “Luggage” Era Continues

You remember the line:

“I’m bringing my luggage… and it’s Louis.”

That went viral last year when CU sent Louis Vuitton–branded offer boxes to recruits. A real-life metaphor for Coach Prime’s whole deal: we’re flashy, fast, and we’re not like the rest of y’all.

Now they’ve reloaded for 2025 and this year’s drop might be even colder.

🏈 Enter: Preston Ashley

Colorado’s top commit, blue-chip CB Preston Ashley, showed off his offer box on X (Twitter for old people).

Inside?

• A graded 1-of-1 rookie card of himself
• Stacked on top of cards featuring Coach Prime and the CU coaching staff
• Packaged like something you’d find at a Sotheby’s auction, not a locker room

No notes. Just straight recruiting innovation.

📈 Why It Hits Harder

This wasn’t just marketing.
Ashley’s commitment came when Deion was off the grid … getting treated for bladder cancer. During that time, CU needed juice. Ashley gave it.

• 4⭐️ corner
• Top of Colorado’s class
• 2026 Under Armour All-American
• Out of Brandon, Mississippi, and ready to torch folks this fall

This wasn’t just a commit. It was a spark.

📺 The Next Chapter: PrimeTime on ESPN

Colorado opens the 2025 season under the lights:

🗓️ Friday, Aug. 29
📍 vs. Georgia Tech
🕗 8 PM ET on ESPN

It’s Year 3 for Prime. The Buffs have added flash, fought through adversity, and now they’re sitting on one of the most eyeballed rosters in the country.

Recruiting wins like this?
They don’t just look good on socials. They show the whole damn sport that CU is still moving loud and in full color.

Coach Prime isn’t just coaching. He’s curating.
And the rest of the sport better keep up or get boxed up.
