Shannon is an athletic LSM prospect with a non-stop motor who recently flipped from Mercer to Bucknell. With his speed and extraordinarily aggressive style, Shannon frequently extends his pursuit of ball carriers out to mid-field. Shannon’s active stick causes turnovers via lifts and pokes as well as the occasional can opener. His ability to slap the butt end of an offensive player’s stick and dislodge the ball is remarkable. Those same sticks skills combined with Shannon’s swift reactions enable him to snare GBs and race down field. Thanks to his smooth stick maneuvers and quick cuts Shannon can push the ball deep into the offensive end. Shannon’s smooth toe drags are always a crowd pleaser. After his standout 2025 season Shannon was named a 1^st Team All-Anne Arundel County selection.            

A blue-collar lefty defender who never fails to empty the tank, Shannon plays a lot bigger than he is and is constantly harassing ball-carriers from sideline to sideline. He’s got awesome hands, too, jarring the ball loose with precision, then quickly getting the ball off the ground and working upfield. Hanging your stick around Shannon has proven to be a fool’s errand as well, as he’s known to catch opponents slipping with a trail check. Even though he’s relatively unassuming at first glance, Shannon is hard to miss with his combination of athleticism, grit, and tireless style of play on defense. In addition, he’s beyond capable of making things happen in transition and versatile enough to thrive both up top at LSM and down low. After Mercer dipped into the Free State for four Class of 2025 commits, the Bears went back to Maryland for Shannon, an All-County pick who committed shortly after the fall circuit wrapped up.
