Scouting Report:
Chandler Shields is a talented wide receiver at Middletown High School. He can find soft spots in a zone and get open. His style is more of a possession receiver, and he can catch deep throws on the run with a great stride. Shields needs to improve his route running and speed this offseason and strengthen his squat. This player can go up and get the football and is always looking to get extra yards after the catch.
His performance in basketball has also been noteworthy. The Middletown Middies had a successful season with an overall record of 18-8 and a conference record of 10-6, finishing 5th in the Greater Miami conference. Shields’ competitiveness and agility on the basketball court have likely contributed to his football skills, especially in lateral quickness. They lost in the District finals to a final four team in Centerville by 8 points.
Shields plans to spend time on the track this spring, which should further improve his speed. With his dedication to offseason training, he is expected to be an even more impressive prospect during the college camp season and make significant plays this fall.
