Shuss was another defensive standout that is an explosive player that is smooth in his back pedal and can get out of his breaks quickly to come up and make a play. He is a player that is always around the football and is able to take good pursuit angles to get in on plays. He will be a player to keep an eye on as he is able to support in the running game and can come down with some INTs as well. He is a natural ball hawk and should be on the radar moving forward.

One of the anchors on Legend’s defense, Brody Shuss Brody Shuss 6'3" | 200 lbs | DB Legend | 2025 State CO had an impressive junior year. Throughout the season, the safety accounted for 103 (55 solo, 48 assisted) total tackles, 5 TFL, 2 INT, 7 PD. Brody measures in at 6’2 190 pounds which is great size for a safety. Shuss also was a key contributor to the special teams. Shuss has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, change of direction, and good speed.

He demonstrates this by following the QB’s eyes leading to an INT or a pass deflection. He will sit in his zone, locking it down daring QB’s to throw his way. When he plays in the box, he understands which gaps to rush and when. As a special teamer, he’s shown the ability to field the punt within the opponents 20 multiple times, even getting it within their own 5 before. Shuss mainly plays in the zone, but will occasionally come down into the box. Good in run support. Very physical hard-hitting safety. He will come down from his zone and lay the boom on the ball carrier. He is a strong tackler. He wraps the defenders up with his lengthy arms and stop the ball carrier in his tracks. In man coverage, he sticks onto the receiver like glue. He’s able to stay with the WR stride for stride. In zone coverage, he executes his assignments. He stays in his zones and doesn’t trail off. Very good ball tracking skills. He sniffs out the ball like a predator does his prey. If he can’t make the interception, he’ll create a pass deflection instead. He’s an all-around fantastic player, and I’m excited to see what he does in his senior year at Legend.

Shuss has good hands and is explosive when he gets the ball in his hands being able to take it to the house.
