Shawn Loiseau (pronounced low-EE-so;[needs IPA] born October 10, 1989) is an American football linebacker who is currently signed to the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad. He is one of the most decorated student-athletes in Merrimack College history, and became the first Merrimack Warrior ever to sign a NFL deal.[1]

Early years[]

A native of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, Loiseau attended Shrewsbury High School, where he set team record with 136 tackles as a senior in 2007. He was named Massachusetts Defensive Player of the Year and helped his team to a state championship, but was ignored by Division I schools because of an assault and battery conviction in his junior year.[2]

He played college football at Merrimack College. Loiseau finished his career with 382 tackles, including 377 in his final three seasons, ranking him first all-time in school history. He broke the school record for tackles in a season with 133 in 2010 and was named 2nd team All-American. Loiseau was twice named Northeast-10 Conference Defensive Player of the Year, marking the first time a Merrimack player earned that award on two occasions.[1]

Professional career[]

2012 NFL Draft[]

Projected as a seventh-round selection, Loiseau was listed as the No. 9 inside linebacker available in the 2012 NFL Draft.[3] Sports Illustrated described him as a "tough-run defending linebacker who is best in the box", who, however, "struggles in anything other than zone coverage."[4]
