Shade Schaefer brings speed, return value, and roster depth to MVSU’s receiver room
In the 2025 season, Mississippi Valley State WR Shade Schaefer, a 5'9", 176-pound junior from Los Angeles, logged 2 receptions for 12 yards and also contributed in the return game, including 217 kickoff-return yards and 39 punt-return yards on FOX Sports’ team stats page. His best fit is as a compact, active slot/space player with utility value, not a volume target yet; the upside is his versatility and ability to help field position while he keeps carving out snaps in a deep Delta Devils receiver group.
