Shamari Earls prides himself on being an all-around, do-it all player. "Coaches love my film and love how explosive I am – my size and athleticism," he said. "Coaches also say my good grades play a big part in being the complete player they covet." Earls is a three-phase player in high school. During his junior season at Thomas Dale, Earls had 29 catches for 715 yards and eight touchdowns, had 172 yards and a touchdown in the return game and he had 25 tackles, three interceptions and four pass breakups. Earls also excels on the track. Heading into his junior track season, he had a personal best 6.36 second 55 meters.
