Michael Shelton, BYU’s senior defensive back, sealed his BYU Football legacy on Tuesday.
The 5-foot-8 defensive back won’t be remembered for his work on special teams, where he has 43 punt returns for a 7.7 yard average without taking one back to the house. Memories of his 2 career interceptions won’t live on in the mind of Cougar fans. Neither will his 63 tackles and 8 pass break ups. Even the Cougars 7-11 Win-Loss record in games in which Shelton made his mark as an upperclassman will fade with time.
No, Shelton likely won’t be remembered predominately for what he accomplished on the field.
