Vernon DeShields III Full Highlights 2A MD STATE CHAMPION 🏆 c/o 2026 RB/Slot 2nd Team All Conference RB 1,097 All Purpose Yards 7.6 YPC 10 TDS @CoachCroteau24 @coachjcoleman @FTRreport @Coachvon_rha https://t.co/YXgVAnrIbE

Let’s not forget about @DeshieldsIii who just returned for Decatur. A WR his entire life, he played RB for Decatur last year & put up over 1,000 yards. One of the best playmakers in the state, definitely one for colleges to take a look at. Balance, strength, hands, & humility.

Im thankful to receive an official offer from @MuskingumFB to play at the next level!!! Thank you, @keegan_linwood, for the opportunity!!!! #TGBTG
