Charlie Weis adds New Jersey running back to team

Monday, February 13, 2012

Charlie Weis and the Kansas football coaching staff isn’t done yet. They added New Jersey running back Tevin Shaw to their 2012 recruiting class.

Shaw signed with the Jayhawks over offers from Maryland, Iowa and Penn State. With Shaw, Kansas has signed 18 players in the February recruiting period, bringing Weis’ first class to 21 athletes including three transfers.

The 5’11 190-pound running back led Piscataway High School to a second straight state championship this season, running for 1,596 yards and 24 touchdowns. In his championship game, Shaw ran for 304 yards and scored three touchdowns, including the game winner.

Shaw runs his 40-yard dash in 4.42, according to rivals.com., and is a multi-purpose player and athlete, as he had 90 tackles and seven interceptions playing in the secondary on defense.

As a junior, Shaw placed second in the New Jersey State Wrestling Championship. His senior wrestling season is currently underway, and Shaw is off to an impressive 25-0 start.

After taking a visit to Kansas the weekend of Feb. 10, Shaw committed to the Jayhawks and became their second running back in the 2012 recruiting class.
