Texas State Safety with Elite Fumble-Forcing Prowess and NFL Measurables
In the 2023 season, Shawn Holton exploded at Texas State, starting all 13 games with 93 tackles (65 solo, 20th nationally), 2 INTs, and a jaw-dropping 4 forced fumbles (tied for 3rd in FBS), earning All-Sun Belt Honorable Mention in his first FBS year. His explosive athleticism shines in pro day metrics—37.5" vertical, 10'5" broad jump, 4. 4.33 shuttle—marking him as a hard-hitting, ball-hawking safety with turnover creation that differentiates him from peers. No notable injury history; his intensity and physicality make him a plug-and-play fit for aggressive defenses chasing playmakers.
