Derrick Shaw brings old-school linebacker muscle to Murray State
In the available Murray State and ESPN profile data, Derrick Shaw is a 6-foot-1, 240-pound linebacker from Alabaster, Alabama whose calling card has long been physicality and production against the run. His Murray State bio notes 11 tackles, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and a quarterback hurry in 2016, plus a high-school resume that included 130 tackles and 3.0 sacks in his senior year. He looks like a tone-setter: strong, tough, and disruptive when he’s attacking downhill. For a roster that needs a hard-nosed LB, Shaw’s fit is built on contact, urgency, and blue-collar reliability.
