Being a “nepo baby” helps, doesn’t it?
While many college athletes are focused on their school work or practice, the sons of Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders are booking fashion shows for some of the biggest luxury brands in the world.
Shedeur and Shilo Sanders took a trip to Paris on Tuesday to connect with legendary music producer and fashion designer Pharrell Williams, who also happens to be the men’s creative director for Louis Vuitton.
This wasn’t just a casual trip in which the brothers took in the sights and met some celebrities — the duo also walked the runway in the 2024 LV men’s fall-winter show and styled some dope outfits.
This video from Well Off Media gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at the brothers’ experience in Paris:
While the two brothers are technically considered “nepo babies,” they are both talented in their own right and have not just ridden the coattails of their dad: Before playing for their father at the University of Colorado and Jackson State University, Shedeur and Shilo big-time high school athletes.
Shadeur was considered a four-star recruit coming out of high school and received offers from some of the best schools in college football including Alabama, Penn State, Michigan, Oregon, LSU, Georgia, Florida, Florida State, Tennessee, Louisville, and many others.
Prior to signing with Jackson State, he committed to Florida Atlantic.
Shilo was also highly touted coming out of high school. Considered a four-star recruit, he received offers from Georgia, Florida State, Oregon, Oregon State, Texas A&M, and Syracuse before signing with South Carolina in the spring of 2019. He played there for two years before transferring to Jackson State and then to Colorado.
