Sanders transferred from Jackson State to play under father Deion and alongside brother Shedeur.
After graduating, Sanders was not selected in the 2025 NFL Draft.
The 6ft star was subsequently signed to a three-year, $2.97 million contract by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
With the college football season approaching, Sanders decided to give back to his alma mater, who are still coached by his father.
Tawfiq Thomas shared a video to social media of Buffaloes stars receiving their gifts.
The lineman was clearly thrilled to become the proud new owner of an Apple Watch.
Thomas said, “Apple Watch after workout, yes sir, Shilo! Yes sir, Shilo!”
The Buffaloes are set to begin their season on August 29 against Georgia Tech.
Sanders and the Buccaneers, meanwhile, will get their NFL campaign underway against the Atlanta Falcons on September 7.
Tampa Bay head coach Todd Bowles has already been impressed by his new acquisition.
Bowles, 61, gushed over Sanders’ qualities on SiriusXM NFL Radio.
He said, “I think he’s a good football player.
“He’s a heck of a tackler and he knows the game very well; he can see the game very well.
“So giving him a chance to play, we think he has a shot to help us from a safety standpoint and from a special teams standpoint.
“I saw him tackle all year. I saw him make plays.

Sanders’ brother Shedeur had been expected to go in the top 10 of the draft, but shockingly fell at the way to the fifth round.
He was finally taken 144th by the Cleveland Browns.
