Coming out of high school in 2017, Tyrell Shavers was one of the most impressive height-weight-speed receiver prospects in the country. He was rated as a four-star, top 100 player, according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
After a few seasons in Tuscaloosa with little on-field impact, the Lewisville (Tex.) native chose to enter the transfer portal in order to seek out more playing time to wrap up his career.
Ultimately, Shavers chose to leave for division foe Mississippi State, and so far, it looks like it was the correct decision. During his first game with the Bulldogs, the 6-foot-6 pass-catcher caught a touchdown pass from fellow transfer quarterback K.J. Costello of Stanford.
More impressive, it came against the No. 6 team in the country, the LSU Tigers. Check it out below!

While it’s unfortunate that things didn’t work out for Shavers at Alabama, it is good to see him making an impact for another team — even if some fans don’t agree.
