Returning Starters: 9 (3 offense; 6 defense).
Returning Lettermen: 20
Key Returning Starters: Jack Hollifield, Sr., LB (6-3, 235); Malaki Hamrick, Jr., DE (6-4, 205); Santana Hopper, Jr., DE (6-3, 230); Tyler Arrington, Sr., CB (5-11, 170); Omar Phillips, Sr., RB (5-10, 200); Shayle Gash, Sr., OL (6-3, 270); Torrian Arrington, Sr., DB (6-0, 175); Jacari Shell, Sr., DB/WR (5-9, 150).

Outlook: Shelby has averaged 14 wins per season over the last seven years with six 2AA state title in that span. This year, only nine starters return, including all-state senior LB Jack Hollifield (164 tackles last year), junior DEs Malaki Hamrick (19 sacks last year) and Santana Hopper, and DBs Torrian and Tyler Arrington returning. Shelby will have to reload on offense, where senior RB Omar Phillips (850 yards rushing last year) will have to play a big role.
