About Shamar
Expert Analysis
Jonathan Davalos | Prep Redzone Scout
Shamar put his talent on full display at the PRZ Next Combine earlier this year, earning recognition as one of the top backs in attendance. His performance reinforced his standing as a premier prospect in the 2030 class.
A silky-smooth runner, Shamar shows an innate ability to escape pressure and create space. He is elusive and explosive out of the backfield, with twitchy footwork that makes defenders miss in the open field. Shamar’s instant jump cuts and ability to change direction left tacklers grasping for air in 2024.
What separates Shamar is his burst through the hole. He can reach the secondary untouched and maintain speed while navigating traffic. Shamar’s shiftiness is matched by the rare ability to stop and restart without sacrificing momentum, a trait that consistently keeps defenders off balance.
He recorded a 4.81 in the 40-yard dash, a time that will only improve as he develops further. Based on his current trajectory and athletic upside, Shamar is firmly in the conversation as a top-five running back in the 2030 class.
