Shilo Sanders was asked about his ongoing bankruptcy case while at Big 12 media days this week.
Colorado’s starting safety doesn’t seem all that worried about the off-field troubles. Instead, he and his family are focused on the upcoming season in Boulder.
Shilo was in Las Vegas this week alongside father, Deion, and brother, Shedeur. The Buffs were one of the headliners of the event as they make the transition from the PAC 12.
While most of the conversation revolved around football, Shilo Sanders’ bankruptcy case did become a topic of conversation when he sat down with members of the media.
He didn’t seem too worried about the offseason distraction.
“Honestly, that kind of stuff, like, you can’t, you’re not gonna win a court case on social media. At the end of the day everybody is gonna know the truth about everything, you know? So there’s no point in just going out of my way to do that. So everything’s good.”
The defender initially filed bankruptcy in response to an $11.89M lawsuit brought about by a security guard at his former school.
Shilo Sanders, Colorado’s leading tackler last year, fell into bankruptcy after a court in Texas issued a $11.89 million civil default judgment against him in 2022. That judgment is owed to a security guard at Shilo’s former school in Dallas – John Darjean, who said Shilo assaulted him with a roundhouse elbow in 2015, severely damaging Darjean’s spine and causing permanent injuries.
