One of the WPIAL’s top big-play threats last football season is beginning to draw NCAA Division I college attention. And he wants more schools to know his name.

TyVaughn Kershaw, a rising senior running back at Monessen, has his first FCS offer after Tennessee at Martin reached out this weekend.

“It feels good. I deserved it,” Kershaw said. “I feel like I have more to prove to everyone why I’m the best underrated player around.”

As a junior, Kershaw (5-9, 195) ran for 1,580 yards and 20 touchdowns, threw for 350 yards and four scores and had 11 receptions for 239 yards and four touchdowns.

The three-time all-conference selection also returned three kickoffs and a punt for touchdowns.
