Welcome to the Friday USC notes column supplement.
From 1964-69, USC had a Shaw in the defensive backfield.
Nate Shaw was an All-American defensive halfback who played from 1964-66. He was a consensus All-American in 1966. He was drafted by the L.A. Rams in the fifth round and played for two seasons. Shaw was also an assistant coach at USC from 1980-86. His nephew is Stanford coach David Shaw.
In the above photo, he makes a tackle vs. Texas in 1966.
Shaw came to USC from San Diego Junior College and Lincoln High School.
Safety Gerry Shaw played at USC from 1967-69. In the above photo, Shaw picks off a pass in the 1969 USC-UCLA game. USC intercepted five passes in the game.
Before USC, Shaw played at Claremont High School.




Thats my Dad :)
Scott, isn’t Claremont High the basis for Cameron Crowe’s “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”? “Assassinate Lincoln!”
