Early years

[edit]

Shelvin started his high school career at Northside High School in Lafayette, Louisiana, playing kicker, punter and defensive lineman in addition to playing on the basketball team.[1] At Northside, Shelvin participated in the Under Armour Future 50 in early 2016.[2] After academic issues led to a transfer to Notre Dame High School in Crowley, Louisiana,[3] Shelvin was the number one recruit in the state of Louisiana and a four-star prospect according to 247Sports.com. He committed to Louisiana State on March 11, 2015, choosing the Tigers over offers from Alabama and Nebraska.[4] After committing, however, Shelvin visited the Alabama campus and also received interest from Mississippi State and Texas A&M.[5] Shelvin participated in the Under Armour All-America Game after his senior season.[6]

College career

[edit]

Due to NCAA rules, Shelvin was an academic redshirt during his true freshman season.[1] Sitting at third-string on the depth chart at nose tackle during his redshirt freshman season, Shelvin was suspended for two weeks by the team for discipline issues.[1] He cracked the starting lineup during his sophomore season.[1] He won a national championship with LSU during his 2019 sophomore season.[7] On January 15, 2020, Shelvin announced his intention to stay in college for his junior season.[8]
