Deion Sanders loves to brag how wealthy his sons are getting, from endorsements during their college football career. But it may be all cap.
Media Take Out confirmed that Colorado safety Shilo Sanders disclosed just shy of $325,000 worth of assets to his name in a December 2023 bankruptcy case related to an $11.89 million dollar judgement against him stemming from an assault when Sanders was in high school.
Shilo is the son of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders and the older brother of quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
The bankruptcy proceeding itself stems from Shilo losing a judgement in 2022 after allegedly assaulting a security guard as a high schooler in 2015.
A suit filed in Dallas District Court in 2016 alleged the security guard, John Darjean, had “sustained severe and permanent injuries including a broken neck, damage to his cervical spine, permanent neurological injuries and irreversible incontinence,” according to a 2024 filing in the bankruptcy proceed. These injuries were allegedly caused when Shilo elbowed and continued to hit Darjean during an altercation.
Shilo lost the judgement when it went to trial in 2022, and failed to appear. The court awarded Darjean an $11.89 million judgement against Sanders after finding he had committed assault and battery. Darjean has alleged this judgement has not been paid.
So what did Shilo make in NIL money? The son of Deion has a Mercedes-Benz automobile and investments held in a Robinhood account, according to a disclosure.
