2026 Defensive Back Andrew Shaw Andrew Shaw 6'1" | 170 lbs | DB Desert Vista | 2026 State AZ is an electric defensive piece you will want to keep your eyes out for on the defensive side of the ball for the Thunder. An impressive frame at safety already heading into his junior year, Shaw can play anywhere on the defense such as the nickel spot or even linebacker in a pinch. Racking in 43 tackles last season, he plays physically and locates the ball quickly taking great angles of pursuit. He wraps up fundamentally and physically well at the position. He will be a key playmaker for the Thunder’s defense going forward.

Listed at 6’0” 155 lbs, Andrew Shaw Andrew Shaw 6'1" | 170 lbs | DB Desert Vista | 2026 State AZ moves fast and plays big – a dangerous combination for offenses. It’s also a perfect combination for a safety: he has the size and physicality to be reliable run support, while having the speed to protect his team from big plays over the top by speedy wideouts. Shaw’s a “jack of all trades” when it comes to coverage too. He matches up well with tight ends that can’t get away from him and has no trouble overpowering the smaller receivers at the line of scrimmage. If he’s able to add some more weight to his impressive frame over the offseason, Shaw could see his game take a big jump. As someone who’s asked to attack the quarterback at times, that extra strength could really help him move the bigger offensive linemen out of his way on his way to the quarterback. One of the things that stood out most during Shaw’s film is how quickly he reads and reacts to the play as it’s developing. Whether its a pass or a run, his quick reactions often put him right in the thick of the action. With another year of experience under his belt and another offseason of work, Shaw’s stock is sure to rise in his junior campaign.
