Laviska Shenault‘s tape is a ton of fun to watch. He lines up everywhere, whether it be quarterback, running back, H-back, or in the slot, Shenault excels everywhere the Buffs’ coaching staff asks him to be.

He’s the lifeblood of his team, as his play sparked the Buffs to a 5-0 record to start the season before a toe injury derailed both Shenault’s and Colorado’s season. Despite the injury, Shenault, in just nine games, brought in 86 catches for 1011 yards and nine touchdowns. He also added another 115 yards on the ground with another five touchdowns.

His abilities as a receiver are undeniable. His speed gets him out of jams at the line of scrimmage, while his physicality makes him an asset underneath coverage.  Deep down the field is where Shenault makes his playstyle a work of art. His ability to track the ball and haul it in over his shoulders in stride is exceptional.

Shenault has a never-say-die attitude. He fights for every reception and once he catches the ball he doesn’t go down easy tanks to his arsenal of open-field moves and toughness. He doesn’t run out of bounds either. At 6’2″, 220 pounds, Shenault transitions from receiver to running back after the catch. He’s a playmaker in every sense of the world. NFL squads will drool over the chance to have his services.
