Expert Analysis

David Gardner

Prep Redzone Scout

A hard-nosed back, this Wildcat commit showcases the ability to grind out yards between the tackles or explode outside with speed. His quick cuts and jukes make him dangerous in tight spaces, while his footwork allows him to evade defenders effectively. Scoring multiple touchdowns out of the wildcat formation, he embodies a “hammer” mentality, pounding the ball while waiting for the big break. Bringing stability and a physical edge to the position, he’s poised to be a standout at the next level.

A thumping back, Shanahan finished with 148 yards and 3 touchdowns, showcasing his ability to attack holes with a low center of gravity and relentless leg drive. Shifty behind the line, he uses excellent footwork to pop outside the tackle and break off long runs. The Wayne State commit embodies a workhorse mentality, thriving on contact like a prizefighter throwing jabs before landing a haymaker. Shanahan’s physical style and knack for big plays have fueled a special senior year that has everyone taking notice.
