Expert Analysis

Ty’Quarius Shannon was one of the biggest matchup problems at the Gardner-Webb Mega Camp. At 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, Shannon possesses a rare blend of size, speed, and athleticism that few defensive backs could match. After posting a 4.4-second 40-yard dash, he backed it up during one-on-one competition, consistently creating separation and making plays down the field.
His leaping ability was equally impressive, allowing him to win contested catches and play above the rim. While Shannon is still developing certain aspects of the receiver position, his raw talent is undeniable. The exciting part is that he’s only scratching the surface of his potential. As he continues to refine his route running and overall understanding of the position, Shannon has the tools to become an even more dominant playmaker at the next level.
Few prospects at the camp offered the combination of size, speed, and upside that Shannon brought to the field.

Fairfield has produced a steady diet of receivers who have speed. So it didn’t surprise us when we turned on the film of Shannon and seeing him burn some DBs on post routes. But deeper in the film, we also saw a receiver who loves the in-flight fight for positioning and is equally adept at high-pointing the ball.
Shannon has an advantage in that he’s not small. Taking advantage of it, though, is a different story. Using his body as a shield, knowing whether to go in or out or come back or turn on the jets, it’s all there already. Scroll to the 1:35 mark to see an excellent example.
As a junior, he caught 560 yards worth of passes and piled up another 280 yards on a variety of carries. A 1,000-yard senior season feels inevitable.
