At Hopewell High School near Pittsburgh, Shell set rushing records that still stand in the state of Pennsylvania. He was the biggest prospect to come out of Hopewell since NFL legend Tony Dorsett.
Now, Shell has the opportunity to make a big name for himself on the national level.
After starting his collegiate career at Pitt, Shell has been established in Morgantown for the past three seasons. The 2015 and 2014 seasons allowed him redeem himself after transferring out of Pitt following the 2012 season.
With the Panthers and Mountaineers, Shell has served as the primary back up to a top-flight rusher.
