Prior to the 2015 season, Shaw was named to 5 different All-American teams. Here’s a quote from Shorter head coach Phil Jones on Shaw:

Jordan was clearly an impact player, and he has made an impact on this program. What makes him special is that he never missed a practice or a meeting, and throughout it all he remained humble.
