Shelton Quarles Jr. brings proven tackling pop and versatility to Bethune-Cookman’s secondary
A senior DB for Bethune-Cookman in the 2024 season, Shelton Quarles Jr. has shown a downhill, physical style that fits as a nickel/corner piece, with 12 tackles and a sack in the Wildcats’ 2024 stat leaders and a multi-year résumé that includes 53 total tackles in 2023 and 32 more in 2024. His calling card is steady, assignment-sound defense rather than splashy ball production—he has no interceptions across those seasons—while his earlier Samford background and high-school two-way experience suggest a versatile, mature player who can plug into a system and play with edge.
