No free releases! Get a jam on him! Those are some of the things you may hear a defensive back coach instructing a player to do at the high school and college level. Devian Shelton listens. The moment the vid starts running, you know this is true. Trouble awaits you when you try to get to the other side of the line of scrimmage on this fast rising prospect. Shelton provides what I call “busted lip coverage” on wide receivers looking to get pretty on the defense. Pass catchers, better bring your makeup bag because Shelton’s looking to bruise you. His aggressive nature jumps out at you and puts him position to make plays all over the field. The big schools out West (USC, UCLA, Oregon) are starting to take notice and Shelton’s interest could move nationwide. It’s another Inglewood High School product. Put a stamp on it.
