Rushel Shell On "The UPMC Centers For Rehab Services High School Football Show"
PITTSBURGH (93-7 The Fan) - Hopewell senior tailback Rushel Shell joined 93.7 The Fan's John Phillips Saturday to discuss his historic performance at Tony Dorsett Stadium Friday night, in which he eclipsed the WPIAL career rushing yardage record previously set by Fort Cherry's Mike Vernillo in 1999.
Rushel explains why the record was not necessarily top of mind for him coming into this game, and who he credits the most for his individual success. He talks about his goals for his senior season, and whether he believes he has a realistic chance to further rewrite local and national record books.
In addition, Rushel talks about his recruiting journey, and whether or not he is willing to give any hints as to his college choice. It has been reported by multiple sources he is weighing (or, possibly, has already weighed) Pitt, Alabama, and Oregon.
