BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Linebacker Gideon ESPN Lampron introduced himself to Deion Sanders while boarding a flight in December. Days later, he was landing in Colorado as a member of the Buffaloes.
His final season is now ready for take off.
"I'm so thankful that I approached him and everything worked out," Lampron said.
This is how the airline encounter unfolded for the fifth-year player with a distinctive middle name: Lampron boarded a plane leaving Dallas and bound for Cleveland shortly after the transfer portal opened. He was heading home and Sanders was off to see his QB son, Shedeur, who is with the NFL's Browns.
Deion Sanders was sitting up front and Lampron summoned the courage for a quick introduction before heading to his seat. He was in the market for a new school after leaving a Bowling Green program coached by Eddie George.
