the old-school Colgate glue guy who brings size, versatility, and trust
Shaffner has long been valued at Colgate as a 6-foot-3, 240-pound linebacker and long snapper, with coaches trusting him in multiple roles and teammates benefiting from his reliability. In his senior-year profile, he was credited with special-teams value, academic honors, and a steady, low-mistake style rather than gaudy stat lines. He’s the kind of player who fits teams that want toughness, positional flexibility, and a high-IQ locker-room presence—less flash, more function, which is exactly what makes him useful.
