Early life and high school

Shaw grew up in Austin, Texas and attended Lyndon B. Johnson High School. As a senior, Shaw rushed for 1,120 yards and 7 touchdowns.

College career

Shaw attended the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa, and played for head coach Hayden Fry. After redshirting, Shaw immediately made an impact in his first game by returning a kickoff 75 yards to set up a score and rushing for 38 yards. He finished his freshman season with 561 yards rushing and two touchdowns, and 115 yards receiving.

As a sophomore, Shaw eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing for the first of three times during his career. He averaged 5.9 yards per carry and, in the season opener against Central Michigan, delivered what would be his career long run of 80 yards. [2] The Hawkeyes finished the 1994 season with a record of 5–5–1 and did not make a bowl game.

Shaw's junior season would be his best statistically with 1,477 yards rushing and 15 touchdowns. He ran for 100 yards or more in eight games, and set the single-season school record with 316 carries. On October 7, Shaw ran for a career-high 250 yards on 42 carries against Michigan State. A little more than a month later, he ran for 214 yards and 3 touchdowns in a win over Wisconsin. Shaw capped his junior season by rushing for 135 yards and a touchdown in the Sun Bowl to take home offensive MVP honors. [3]

During Shaw's senior season, he ran for 1,116 yards and 8 touchdowns. In a season where the team went 9–3 (6–2 Big Ten, tied for 3rd) and finished No. 18 in the rankings, he was named First-team All-Big Ten and offensive MVP of the Alamo Bowl after running for 113 yards and a touchdown in a shutout victory over Texas Tech. [4] Shaw became the first, and to date the only, Iowa football player to rush for over 4,000 yards in a career.

He held numerous single-season and career school rushing records at the end of his career. While some of his records have been surpassed (single-season rushing yards and rushing touchdowns), Shaw remains the school's career leader in rushing yards (4,156), rushing touchdowns (33, tied with Tavian Banks), and most career 100-yard games (19). He also tops the school's career list for all-purpose yards (5,043), and, along with Banks, is one of two non-kickers who are part of the top ten on the school's career list for scoring.
