After a year hiatus from playing football at Musselman, 2026 ATH Colton Shelton Colton Shelton 5'11" | 170 lbs | ATH Musselman | 2026 State WV was a welcome addition back to the program for his senior year. He’s the type of athlete who can play any skill position and proved as much during his high school career. Shelton doubles as a basketball standout for the Applemen, but he has upside as a football prospect as well for D2 and D3 programs to check out.

The Musselman Applemen are having a solid bounce-back year after a 1-10 campaign in 2024, and having 2026 ATH Colton Shelton Colton Shelton 5'11" | 170 lbs | ATH Musselman | 2026 State WV back in the fold this year is one of the biggest reasons why. There were several candidates for Musselman’s X-Factor, but Shelton’s playmaking ability can’t be overlooked in their Wing-T system. You have to account for him as a runner and as a threat to pass at times. Shelton is an explosive athlete with good speed and quickness, which makes him dangerous in that system.

Welcome back, 2026 Musselman ATH Colton Shelton Colton Shelton 5'11" | 170 lbs | ATH Musselman | 2026 State WV , to the program! After taking his junior season off, Shelton is back on the team as a senior and will play a huge role. He’s capable of playing several different positions, but Shelton will be another ball carrier in their offensive system. He was formerly ranked highly as a linebacker in the past, but Shelton’s size would have him playing safety or slot receiver at the next level. He’s a talented athlete who will greatly benefit their 2025 campaign and is a much-welcomed addition back to the program.

Musselman linebacker Colton Shelton Colton Shelton 5'11" | 170 lbs | ATH Musselman | 2026 State WV is an intriguing prospect because of his size and athleticism. Shelton only stands at 5’8 155 playing varsity linebacker on a Class AAA team in a tough conference but performs above his size. Shelton is a very good athlete doubling as a point guard on the Applemen basketball team and seeing time as a running back too. Shelton has a knack for the football on defense which was on display in Musselman’s 6-0 win over Hedgesville when he returned a fumble for the game-winning touchdown and forced an interception on a tipped pass. Whether or not he can play linebacker in college will depend on how much bigger he gets the next two years but Shelton appears to have plenty of athleticism to slide back to safety if not. If he increases in size in the future his ranking is sure to rise and one of the only things lowering his ceiling right now.
