Houston-Born LB with Grit and Growth Potential at CCSU
TJ Shittu, a 6'1", 210-lb sophomore linebacker from Houston, TX, is emerging as a high-intensity, physically developing presence for the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils. Though his 2025 season stats show zero recorded tackles, sacks, or interceptions across 10 games, his differentiator lies in his raw size potential (now listed at 6'2", 225 lbs as a junior per CBS), Texas football pedigree, and consistent roster presence through two seasons. With no reported injury history and a reputation for relentless effort, Shittu offers a high-upside fit for teams seeking a hungry, moldable linebacker who can add bulk and intensity. He’s not yet a stat leader, but his trajectory and background suggest he’s worth investing in for future development.
