Shiloh Sanders, the son of Colorado State University head coach Deion Sanders, is facing accusations that he is trying to hide his net worth and income after being ordered to pay a $12 million settlement to a man who claims Sanders punched him in 2015.
The settlement stems from allegations by high school security guard John Darjan, who claims Shiloh assaulted him while he was attending Triple A Academy, a Dallas, Texas, charter school chain that has since gone bankrupt.
Darjean said he was tasked with escorting Shiloh to an in-school suspension for allegedly violating a school rule that prohibited bringing cellphones to class. Shiloh allegedly used the phone to call his mother, Pilar Sanders, but when one of Dion’s assistants arrived at the school, he instructed Darjean to confiscate Shiloh’s phone.
In court documents, Darjean alleges that Shiloh struck the man in the chest with his elbow and continued punching him after he fell to the ground, causing him “severe and permanent injuries, including a broken neck, cervical spine damage, permanent nerve damage and irreversible incontinence.”
“Suddenly, and without any warning, Shiloh Sanders physically assaulted John Darjan by striking him in the chest and neck with his elbow and delivering multiple blows to his chest and neck area,” the lawsuit states. Said.

After the judgment was entered in Darjean’s favor, Shiloh declared bankruptcy and listed her assets as just $320,477. According to Yahoo Sports, Shiloh admitted to some (but not all) of Darjean’s claims during her bankruptcy hearing.
Darjan and others question Shiloh’s claim that he has only a few hundred thousand dollars in assets, given his numerous NIL contracts, and the numerous social media videos and posts showing him owning expensive cars, clothes and products, raising concerns that Shiloh may have under-reported his assets to the bankruptcy court.
The security guard’s lawyers slammed Shiloh’s claims that he won’t be able to pay any of the $12 million settlement.
“Contrary to the schedule, Shiloh has admitted to purchasing numerous luxury and expensive clothing items,” the lawsuit states. “For example, in a May 4, 2023 post on his YouTube channel, he states, ‘Okay, I’m planning on spending at least $50,000 today at the Louis Vuitton store.'”
None of the items Shiloh posted on social media were listed in the disclosure documents, the lawsuit said, but Shiloh’s lawyers argued that Shiloh was under no obligation to separately list and value her personal items.
Shiloh had contracts with companies including gaming company MetaQuest, but those contracts were not mentioned in the bankruptcy proceedings.
But in the bankruptcy filing, Shiloh’s lawyers said the young player had $11.3 million in debts, just under $500,000 in assets and a 2023 total income of $193,713.
