A right tackle as a junior for his Chaparral team, Callahan has an excellent frame. He has strong hands and can manhandle a smaller defensive lineman once he's made initial contact. He has good quickness, but needs to improve on his drop step and lateral movement to maximize his ability to pass protect. Quick enough to pull and/or get to the second level without much trouble - Scott Kennedy, Scout.com.

OT Shane Callahan commits to Auburn. "We're going to win another national championship. We're set on that."

@HABOTN

I love the attitude of the kids we are bringing in this year. #1 recruiting class, titles, etc.

• Why Auburn? “You’re not always going to have football. This is a place where I’d want to be even if there wasn’t football.”

• He said he won’t get homesick because his parents are expecting to buy a house in the area. The Callahans will spent at least a portion of the year here.

Why Auburn? “You’re not always going to have football. This is a place where I’d want to be even if there wasn’t football.

So, even he knows that Auburn is going to get SMU'd ? Is THAT what he's saying ?

:poke:

Welcome to the family Shane!

War Eagle!!!

No that's not what he is saying. He's saying that even if he wasn't playing football he would want to be in Auburn.

:poke:

Yep, death penalty for sure. Glad we snagged him while we still have a program. :rolleyes:

Welcome to the family SHane! I love how the recruits are ignoring the negative press, and the big time negative recruiting and seem determined to come in and make a difference! :cheer:

Fixed that for you.

Shane Callahan on his decision - “I can honestly say that I looked at a bunch of schools and this was a slam dunk. Nothing is like Auburn.”

@JNewbergESPN

We agree. WDE!

Chaparral's Shane Callahan latest in school's line of athletic tackles

By Ryan Casey

The Denver Post

PARKER — It is not hard to find Shane Callahan. His size (6-foot-6, near 280 pounds) tends to act as a GPS tracker on a high school campus, even if that campus holds close to 2,200 students.

Where's Shane? Find the guy who looks like a college student.

Yet, in recent years at Chaparral High School, it hasn't been uncommon to find a student resembling a bouncer roaming the halls.

Callahan, who anchors the left side of the Wolverines' offensive line at tackle, is built in the mold of Jack Harris and Brendon Austin — two tackles from Chaparral's past who now are at Colorado and Stanford, respectively.

If Harris, a 6-6, 270-pound four-star recruit in 2009, started Chaparral's tradition at tackle, and Austin, a 6-5, 265 four-star recruit last season, continued it, Callahan, a four-star recruit this cycle, is cementing it.

"We've just been blessed," Chaparral coach John Vogt said of the trio. "These kids are coming in here 6-5, 6-6."

What's more, Vogt added, is that those lengthy frames aren't accompanied by round body types: "You're going to see flat tummies," he said.

Chaparral has made a habit of producing big, athletic tackles.

"We've had some good ones here," said the Wolverines' offensive line coach, Rod Dobbs. "I think (Callahan's) right up there in that category."
