Though I can't say I am thrilled at his religion, I don't think you could find anybody, on or off the field, who defines the description of student athlete better than Ameer. He's not only an exceptional athlete and student, he's an exceptional human being. The daughters are well acquainted with him and Kenny Bell (fear the fro), and speak very highly of them as being just good people.
This one could give him a good run. BTW he's already working on his PhD.
OXFORD, Miss. -- Deterrian "D.T." Shackelford sat in one of the Ole Miss football offices Monday and talked about all the things he had done since he arrived at Ole Miss in 2009. He also talked about all the things he still wanted to do.
Shackelford, a rare sixth-year senior, has already received his undergraduate degree in liberal arts and his Master's degree in higher education. He's been on mission trips to Panama and Haiti. He eventually wants to get his Ph.D. and become a college athletic director, but not before he tries his luck in the NFL.
"There's a lot of different stuff I want to do, but I do still want to put on my cleats," the veteran linebacker said with a laugh.
