Texas A&M has signed Washington transfer cornerback

Texas A&M has signed former Washington cornerback Jordan Shaw

Texas A&M’s transfer portal success continued on Sunday morning, as the Aggies gained their second cornerback commitment from former Indiana/Washington CB Jordan Shaw, who visited College Station this weekend.

This offseason, coach Mike Elko and his staff were well aware of the secondary’s deficiencies, especially from a development standpoint. Freshman cornerback Dezz Ricks struggled immensely during A&M’s 35-31 Las Vegas Bowl loss to USC.

Adding a veteran corner like Shaw is a no-brainer. The redshirt freshman ended the season with 37 tackles and six pass deflections, and his 6-1 175-pound frame will fit next to returning star cornerback Will Lee III next season.

According to Pro Football Focus, Shaw earned a solid 69.4 defensive grade and a 69.5 coverage grade, both high marks representing a player on the rise with plenty of improvement. Regarding where he will line up next season, Shaw played 336 snaps in the slot but also saw time on the boundary and 63 snaps at free safety, so Shaw is a versatile defensive weapon.

Colorado receives commitment from three-star Jordan Shaw

Jordan Shaw is now the highest-rated commit in Colorado’s 2023 class

Not long after taking his official visit over Homecoming weekend, No. 49 2023 California prospect (247Sports composite) Jordan Shaw announced his commitment to the Colorado Buffaloes on Tuesday.

Shaw has racked up impressive numbers playing both receiver and defensive back at St. Pius X-St. Matthias Academy in Downey and was recruited by Colorado cornerbacks coach Rod Chance — Chance had also recruited Shaw when he was at Oregon.

The 6-foot, 170-pound three-star is now the highest-rated recruit out of Colorado’s 17 class of 2023 commits, just ahead of linebacker CJ Turner (per 247Sports). Shaw is also the fourth defensive back — Taylor Starling, Adrian Wilson and Jamari Holliman being the others — and the fifth commit from the state of California.

The Buffs were able to beat out several other Division I teams that had offered Shaw, including Pac-12 foes Arizona, Arizona State, USC, California, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Washington State. But perhaps most importantly, Shaw is Colorado’s first player to commit in the post-Karl Dorrell era.
