The former Huskies center hopes to hear his name called later this week by an NFL team.

Coleman Shelton already made history as a two-star recruit who made All-Conference twice as an offensive lineman. This weekend, he will seek to make more history by becoming the first Husky offensive lineman selected in the NFL draft since Senio Kelemete in 2012. Today, let’s take a deeper look at how Shelton got here and what might come next for the big man.
