Shackelford had a career day on Saturday in helping Ripon stun league-leading Lake Forest 12-0. The sophomore had a career-high 13 tackles – all solo – and chipped in two tackles-for-loss, a sack, a forced fumble, and a pass breakup. Shackelford was part of a Red Hawks defense that held LFC without a rushing touchdown for the first time all season. Additionally, the Foresters had their second-lowest passing yard total on the season as the Ripon forced 3 fumbles and 3 interceptions for its highest single-game takeaway total since forcing 8 turnovers against Grinnell on September 29, 2018.
