Tommy Shuler (2024) - Marshall Athletics Hall of Fame

Tommy Shuler

Induction:
2024
Class:
2014

Tommy Shuler, or "Shuuuu" as many Marshall fans will know him as at Joan C. Edwards Stadium, etched his name into the record books, teaming with fellow 2024 Marshall Hall of Fame nominee Rakeem Cato to become one of the most productive quarterback-receiver duos in recent memory. Shuler is Marshall's all-time leader in receptions with 322, which stood as a Conference USA record upon his exit. In his final game with the Thundering Herd, Shuler caught 18 passes for 185 yards and a score as Marshall defeated Northern Illinois, 52-23, to finish 13-1 and ranked No. 23 nationally at the end of the 2014 season. Ironically, that was not the top performance of Shuler's career; that distinction came in a 2012 contest at Purdue in which he hauled in 19 receptions for 200 yards against the Boilermakers. Shuler eclipsed 1,000 yards receiving in three separate seasons (2012-14) and is No. 4 all-time in Marshall history in receiving yards (3,563) while placing No. 6 in touchdown receptions. Shuler finished his career with 12 games in which he had 100 yards receiving.
