After stepping in as starter mid-season last year and showing real promise, he’s now backed by head coach Kellen Moore, who praised his leadership, preparation, and vocal presence. The team’s investing heavily in his growth: drafting wideout Jordyn Tyson (recovering from a hamstring injury) and signing running back Travis Etienne Jr. to give Shough elite weapons.
