Colorado signed an important high schooler in cancer survivor Parker Rose.
The 16-year-old’s honorary letter of intent was especially meaningful to Deion Sanders, who just fought his own cancer battle.
“C’mon, you with me, man,” the coach said.
Rose was 14 and a few weeks into his freshman football season when he was diagnosed with leukemia.
Parker had an allergic reaction to the chemotherapy, which made his 26 months of treatment extra difficult.
The Buffalos tried to ease the struggles by inviting Rose to games and hanging with Travis Hunter at their pro day.
Players were also there when Parker rang the bell to signify beating the cancer.
Rose is returning to Brighton High School for his senior season of football, which he began playing when he was just 6.
