Shed in San Antonio Commanders Preseason Camp

The NCAA season is over and the NFL is winding down, but football won't end in February. The new upstart Alliance of American Football (or AAF) will be kicking off nationally televised games the Saturday after the Super Bowl.

One of the hundreds of hopeful AAF stars is Hobart grad and former D3football.com All-American WR Brandon Shed '18.



Shed, who's one of three former D3FB players on the current roster (others attended Wesley and Berry Colleges in DE and GA, respectively) will be competing with a number of former D1 and NFL caliber players. So far so good as Brandon has flashed in camp and was cited in a recent article by 210football.com, which has been covering the team. You can follow Brandon and the AAF on Twitter, Instagram and elsewhere to stay up to date. Rosters will be cut down from about 70-5 to just over 50, similar to what you see in the NFL regular season.

I know all of the Statesmen out there will be hoping to see #15 make the cut and be seen on the nationally televised broadcasts next month and through April. The AAF has some rule changes to make it a bit different from the NFL (e.g., no kickoffs, ball is placed at the 25; no PATs, only 2-PT conversions allowed after a TD, etc).

Good luck Brandon and go 'Bart!
