Shilo Sanders Signs with UTA for Non-Sports Ventures

Los Angeles, CA – Shilo Sanders, son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders and former standout at the University of Colorado, has signed with United Talent Agency (UTA) for non-sports entertainment opportunities, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Shilo built a reputation as a safety on his father’s Colorado Buffaloes football team. After going undrafted, he briefly joined the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers but was cut during preseason. Despite this setback, Shilo is pursuing a career in fashion, media, and entertainment, which aligns with UTA’s offerings.

His recent projects include a role in the series “Black Mafia Family” where he portrayed his father, Deion Sanders. He has also modeled for prominent brands such as Louis Vuitton and has a successful YouTube channel with over 219,000 followers. Additionally, he has established brand partnerships with companies like Porsche and Google.

Shilo began his college football journey at South Carolina before transferring to Jackson State to join his father and brother, Shedeur Sanders. Shedeur is considered one of the top quarterback prospects and was selected 144th overall by the Cleveland Browns in the 2025 NFL Draft.

As a backup quarterback, Shedeur is now positioned behind Dillon Gabriel and ahead of the injured Deshaun Watson. Deion Sanders has made a name for himself as one of the few athletes to excel in both professional football and baseball, famously playing two games in one day back in 1992.
