2025 Transfer DL Travis Shaw


Recommended Posts

Extremely large individual.  Former 5 star and guy who reportedly was starting to put it together last season.  If he can take it up a level, you have a real impact player.  If he only progresses half a level, then you have a rotational surface eater who can play 35 snaps a game.

The best two "highlight" films I could find of him were from HS (hate to link anything from Rivals but it is what it is). Not surprisingly, I couldn't find much from UNC. The second video is almost more of a hype video - but it still has a lot of highlights. In any case, I can see why he had the lofty ranking. He is... LARGE. And fast. If Sark/Baker can maximize Shaw's talent and Shaw and the SC/nutrition staff can keep his weight under control, I think he'll be a very nice addition for us

Found some more footage of him in UNC's 2023 spring game. Not a lot you can really read into here except that he's large, he's very fluid, he's highly athletic, and he didn't always understand football player at that point in time. If Kenny Baker can develop this kid and Kanu into players, we should sign him to a lifetime contract - whatever the cost. On the other hand, it's a spring game, so who knows?

I'm not sure developing two really athletic guys (one of which is a former 5 star who had a decent year last year, and the other was one of the most sought-after players in the Portal) who have already played a solid amount of college football into good players is exactly lifetime contract stuff.
