About Jayden
Expert Analysis
Chris Smith | Prep Redzone Scout
The Lions have a future leader on defense here with Shannon. This rising junior had a sneaky good Winter Showcase last weekend where he displayed good athleticism, instincts and the ability to take directions and excel. He began the day with some solid testing but really amped things up when we reached positional work. Shannon tracked the ball during several drills while showing good lower base explosion and mobility. He is a bit undersized at 5’10 but Shannon makes up for it with football knowledge and effort. Expect to hear more and more about this Mid-TN linebacker over the next two years.

brought a physical presence to every drill, excelling at shedding blocks and closing space during angle drills. He demonstrated smooth lateral movement and quick feet through the agility bags, maintaining great body positioning. Shannon’s coverage skills were sharp, as he disrupted routes and contested throws during 1v1 pass drills. His ability to read the offense and react quickly gave him an edge, allowing him to stay one step ahead of running backs. Shannon’s competitive fire and relentless motor made him a standout throughout the session.
