Shaw originally started his career at YSU as a safety where he finished his final year at safety with 48 tackles and one interception starting eight of eleven games before switching to tight end in 2011.

When you want to talk about making the most of your opportunities Shaw is your man.

Three of his eight total catches found their way into the end zone! The native of Baltimore, MD average 25 yards per catch with a long of 52. Still not convinced Shaw is a big-play weapon?
