University of Colorado football player Shilo Sanders, son of CU head coach Deion Sanders, filed a bankruptcy proceeding to avoid a Texas court judgment against him in favor of a former high school security guard in the amount of $11.89 million.

John Darjean was a security officer at Focus Academies in Dallas, Texas, where Shilo attended the Focus Academies high school Triple A Academy. According to legal documents obtained by Westword, in 2015 Shilo allegedly attacked Darjean while Darjean was executing a disciplinary action against Shilo after he was being disruptive in class.
