Dual-Threat QB Transitioning to Wide Receiver at Louisville
Shai Werts is a 6-1, 175-pound dual-threat quarterback from Newberry, SC, who enrolled at Louisville in January 2021. The versatile athlete brings experience leading Georgia Southern's high-octane offense—which averaged over 30 points per game—and demonstrated poise both on and off the field. His ability to create plays with his legs (evidenced by a 29-yard scramble on fourth-and-10 in a bowl game) and arm talent (57-yard TD pass vs. App State) makes him an intriguing prospect for teams seeking positional flexibility. Early Louisville stats show 5 receptions for 53 yards, suggesting he's still developing in his WR role. Best fit: Programs valuing versatility and athleticism over immediate production.
