Antonio Shelton II Antonio Shelton II 6'0" | 195 lbs | LB/ATH Benton | 2026 State AR is a true breakout candidate for the upcoming 2025 season. I have seen him perform multiple times in person, and he shows potential.

He displays good body control and balance, which allows him to navigate through traffic effectively when defending against the run and to make plays in space. He stays square at the POA with solid UOH to shed blocks quickly. Additionally, he possesses solid read-and-react skills, allowing him to break on receivers rapidly and change direction efficiently to force PBUs.
