the veteran back who brings production, versatility, and tone-setting energy
In the 2024 season, Tyreese Shakir was a steady defensive back for Portland State, finishing with 49 total tackles, 1 interception, 1 sack, and 2 pass breakups, while his career line shows 122 tackles, 5 interceptions, 3 sacks, and 9 pass breakups across 25 starts. He stands out for his football IQ, communication in coverage, and ability to play with urgency—scouts have noted strong spatial awareness and quick transitions in coverage, which make him more than a box-score player. If you want an experienced, competitive secondary piece who can help organize the back end and make timely plays, he fits the bill.
