The 2017 college football season is upon us, so it’s time for our breakout players heading into the season.
The skinny: Shaw took his official visit to Wisconsin in September but waited until late January to commit to the Badgers. He also considered Vanderbilt, Minnesota, South Carolina and Nebraska at the time of his decision. Shaw rushed for 457 yards and five touchdowns on only 88 carries last fall, but definitely opened eyes by finishing the season strong. While he will likely battle Chris James and Taiwan Deal for carries this season, he is the most likely of the trio to have a breakout season behind Wisconsin’s always strong offensive line.
Farrell’s take: A national Top 150 prospect with the perfect skillset and build for Wisconsin, it’s now his turn to shine. He’s a downhill runner but has good feet and vision. In Wisconsin’s run-heavy offense, he will wear down defenses and could be the workhorse they covet.
