Young VMI QB with dual-threat upside and proven high-school production
Shelton enters VMI as a 5'11", 200-pound redshirt sophomore quarterback whose best calling card is a compact, dual-threat skill set: at Manchester High School he completed 64% of his passes in 2021 for 1,650 yards and 16 TDs while adding 425 rushing yards and 11 rushing scores. He was a two-year varsity starter and earned All-Region both seasons, suggesting competitive consistency and command. With VMI, he looks like a developmental fit for a team that values mobility, toughness, and QB versatility rather than a pure pocket passer.
