Citadel’s Dual-Threat QB with Redshirt Freshman Grit
Shon Belton, the Citadel Bulldogs’ 6’1”, 209-lb quarterback, stands out as a dual-threat player who rushed 12 times for 96 yards and one TD in his 2015 redshirt freshman season, while also showing poise with 2-of-3 passing for 50 yards. Though his stats are from 2015, Belton’s differentiators include his intensity as a redshirt who appeared in three games, his physicality (209 lbs), and his ability to score on the ground. His personality reflects resilience—common among Citadel athletes trained in military discipline. While not a current active player (last rostered in 2015), his profile suggests a QB who fits teams valuing grit, dual-threat capability, and leadership under pressure. Injury history is unreported, but his redshirt status implies a strategic recovery or development period. For a team seeking a tough, mobile QB with a strong mindset, Belton’s legacy offers a compelling fit.
