In less than a year, Deion Sanders has transformed Colorado football from an afterthought into a sought-after destination. Despite the Buffaloes’ recent 42-6 loss to Oregon, the momentum behind Sanders’ program continues to grow. Welcome to the world of excitement and glamour – where A-listers grace the sidelines: Celebrities at Colorado games.
A year ago, it would have been hard to imagine Colorado participating in the most-watched game during three of the first four weeks of the season. Even fewer could have predicted that Buffaloes games would draw the attention of some of the biggest names in America.
A plethora of celebrities is anticipated to grace Folsom Field for Colorado’s showdown with USC this Saturday, despite the game being held in Boulder rather than Los Angeles. Attendees are in for a special treat, with the projected No. 1 NFL Draft pick, Caleb Williams, leading Sanders’ Buffaloes into action.
Let’s take a closer look at the roster of celebrities set to attend Saturday’s USC vs. Colorado clash.
Who Will Be Present at USC-Colorado?
The following celebrities are expected to be in attendance at Folsom Field for USC vs. Colorado on Saturday:
- LeBron James
- Bronny James
- Jay-Z
- Snoop Dogg
- Lil Wayne
- Will Ferrell
- Matthew McConaughey
- DJ Khaled
Some of these prominent figures have strong ties to USC, such as the James family. Bronny James intends to play basketball for USC once he has fully recovered from his cardiac arrest in July. Snoop Dogg is a well-known USC enthusiast.
Meanwhile, some will flock to Boulder to witness the extraordinary phenomenon that is Sanders’ program. Matthew McConaughey, a passionate Texas supporter, won’t let anything stop him from joining the throng in Boulder, where celebrities at Colorado games converge to see the most dynamic coach in college football square off against perhaps the finest college football player.
Lil Wayne is one of the celebrities with a close connection to Sanders. He had the opportunity to tour Colorado’s locker room two months after Sanders was hired and has already been in Boulder for a Colorado game this season.
Despite all the buzz, Colorado enters the game as a three-touchdown underdog against USC. Concerns about the Buffaloes’ defense were amplified by Oregon’s dominant victory last weekend, and a subdued performance by Shedeur Sanders and the offense only added to the concerns. Nonetheless, Colorado will have an opportunity to put points on the board against a questionable Trojans defense, at the very least.
