Expert Analysis
Will Helms | Prep Redzone Scout
Shaw moved more to the offensive side of the ball as a running back, holding his own there, but we still like him best on the defensive side of the ball. He has excellent instincts and isn’t afraid to hit, two things that work well off the ball. When he gets there, he arrives violently.

We’ve ranked Shaw as a linebacker, but if his 2026 season is any indication, his future is at the running back position. He’s a big, bruising back, he’s one of the best in short-yardage situations in the region. I’m intrigued to see what he can do with a full offseason of training at running back.

Shaw missed some time last year after a strong non-conference start on both sides of the ball, but he’s back and he’s looked great in off-season camps. He’s a bigger linebacker who can still get sideline-to-sideline and delivers a thump when he gets to ball carriers. Shaw is a candidate to have a breakout season, as his talent exceeds the stats he’s put up in the past.

Shaw is a versatile player, contributing on both sides of the ball, but he competed at our Prep Redzone Combine as a linebacker and that’s his highest-upside position. He’s a stocky run-stopper with plenty of strength to fight offensive linemen in running lanes. He doesn’t get enough credit for his sideline-to-sideline ability, something that really stands out on film.

is a true run-stopper with a physical presence you can’t miss. At over 225 pounds, he moves with surprising fluidity, especially in his hips. A two-way player for Triton, Shaw’s experience at running back clearly benefits his footwork and vision—he flowed through the bag drills with ease and precision. He also held his own in 1-on-1s, showing solid coverage potential for his size. Shaw brings toughness, athleticism, and versatility to the linebacker position and is a strong presence in the box.

A talented two-way player for Triton, Shaw had a major effect on games when he was on the field and should only continue to make big plays as he gets more and more playing time. Mainly an edge rusher as a freshman, he transitioned top an off-ball role as a sophomore, where he really improved as the season went on.
