Colorado coach Deion Sanders never hides which of his five children is currently his favorite, as he’s previously gone viral listing his top-five kids power rankings.

But like any power rankings across sports, they are always changing. Sanders, the 2023 Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year, updated his list in an exclusive interview with SI.

The new rankings were big news for Shilo Sanders, who leapfrogged two spots into the No. 3 slot:

1. Deion Sanders Jr.

2. Shelomi “Bossy” Sanders

3. Shilo Sanders

4. Shedeur Sanders

5. Deiondra Sanders

The last time Sanders ranked his children, Deion Jr. was ranked first, followed by Shelomi in second, Shedeur in third, Deiondra in in fourth and Shilo in fifth.

The Colorado coach said Shilo jumped two spots to No. 3 because “he’s consistently balling.”

The Buffaloes lost six straight games to finish the season with a 4-8 record after a promising 3-0 start to the Coach Prime era.

Shilo Sanders finished the season with 70 total tackles and one interception—and he moved up two spots in his dad’s power rankings.
