Head Prefect of the Class of 2009, Shayne Skov has been busy helping the Stanford Cardinal football team flirt with a Pac-10 title.
Initially a special teams starter, Shayne got the nod at linebacker in the seventh game of the season and has performed even better than Coach Jim Harbaugh could have imagined. Shayne finished the regular season sixth on the team in tackles with 47, 27 solo and 20 assisted. This number would surely be higher had Shayne started the first six games.
Shayne was also featured early in the Oregon game telecast as an “impact player” who would “have a significant influence on the program in future years.”
