About Thatcher

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Dual threat RPO style. Elite speed with passing ability.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I believe the only way to play sports is with the memory of a goldfish. Never get too high or too low. The next play is the best play.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

On the leadership council for the varsity football team at my high school. The only freshman to Letter on the varsity football team. I’m currently running varsity track and the 100 and 200 m dash and 1600 meter relay.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Describe my leadership style as being right doesn’t always make me righteous. I do not treat anyone as if they are less or more important than anyone else. Definitely able to talk to all of my teammates and understand their point of view without demanding compliance.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I have been lucky enough to have avoided any serious injuries. I study hard so school has not provided any setbacks only opportunities.

What type of college are you looking for?

Would love a school that would allow me to contribute early. I have no problem having to work for a starting position.

Newly minted QB1 in the 2028 cycle, Thatcher Shelton Thatcher Shelton Thatcher Shelton 6'1" | 180 lbs | QB Lincoln Southwest | 2028 State NE , is a player we are telling coaches to buy stock in early. He is fresh off his first full season as a starter for the Silver Hawks and recorded 1,256 passing yards and 12 touchdowns, along with flashing his top-tier athleticism. Thatcher has already started to gain attention from nearby FCS programs and has taken a visit to South Dakota State. Shelton also competed at the Navy All-American combine, setting himself up for more national attention.
