Vol legacy Navy Shuler posts ‘thank you’ message to cap football career
Tennessee reserve quarterback Navy Shuler, a Vol legacy, announced on social media Monday his thanks for the game of football as he begins his next chapter in life.
“Thank you football,” Shuler wrote on X. “You gave an eight year old boy a dream to play quarterback not only in college but at the University of Tennessee. Thank you to everyone who was apart of my journey. I will forever be grateful. Here’s to the future!”
The quarterback signed the post with Proverbs 3:5-6 as well.
Shuler played three seasons at the University of Tennessee after beginning his collegiate career at Appalachian State. From 2022-2024, Shuler appeared in four games in the Orange & White, completing 2-of-4 passes for nine yards while also rushing for two yards on five carries.
