After redshirting his freshman year, Shawn Nelson wanted out. Out of Southern Mississippi, out of the Golden Eagles offense and out of tight end. Recruited as a receiver out of high school by a handful of other Division I schools, Nelson had a big decision to make after the transition to tight end proved a bit more trying than he had anticipated.
Working in a balanced offense Nelson longed for more opportunities to catch the ball.
“I didn’t play tight end until I got to college,” said Nelson. “My first year I wanted to bail out. I thought about transferring to Louisiana Tech and Florida because they both ran the spread offense.”
