Position: Cornerback
Size and speed: Shakir is 6-foot-1, 190 pounds. He has a 31-inch vertical jump and runs a 4.5-second 40-yard dash.
Honors: All-conference, all-South Jersey as a junior.
Statistics: Last season Shakir had 56 tackles, six interceptions and 20 pass break-ps.
Favorite schools: Rutgers, Tulane, Michigan, Ohio State, Virginia and North Carolina
Skinny: Shakir is another talented player out of powerhouse Woodrow Wilson High School. The athletic defensive back already has offers from Rutgers and Tulane and as the May evaluation period continues to heat up, many more offers should follow.
“I really like Rutgers a lot right now. I was up for their spring game and I like what they are doing up there.”
Tulane signed two players from Woodrow Wilson in February (Elijah Robinson and Preston Brown). Will this affect his decision?
“It would be nice to play with those guys, but I need to do what’s right for me. I do like Tulane and they are one of my top schools right now, but I really want to take my visits before anything.”
Michigan has been Hussain's favorite school growing and the Wolverines have a big edge.
“I’m hoping that Michigan offers, I’ve always wanted to go there.”
