At 6-foot-3 and 205-pounds, Shaw projects best as a linebacker at the next level, despite playing mostly quarterback and safety for his high school team.
As a junior in 2024, Shaw recorded 1,341 passing yards and 13 passing touchdowns, while completing 60% of his passing attempts. He added 1,021 rushing yards and 15 additional touchdowns, on his way to all-state, all-county and all-league honors. He led the Panthers to a deep playoff run and a 10-2 overall record.
Along with football, Shaw also runs track and has recorded a time of 11.32 in the 100 meters event. He's also tested out a 4.5-second 40-yard dash.
With this addition, Shaw becomes second linebacker commit for the Scarlet Knights in this 2026 class, joining Joey Kopec from Ohio.
