Shelton, a native of New London, Texas, spent each of the last two seasons at Tyler Junior College in Tyler, Texas. He was redshirted during the 2020 campaign.
Shelton recently visited West Virginia, and although he followed the trip to Morgantown with a visit to TCU, Shelton settled on the Mountaineers. He also held an offer from Indiana.
The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Shelton could get a look at various positions within the Mountaineersâ secondary. He is the second addition to West Virginiaâs secondary within the last few days, joining Colorado State transfer Rashad Ajayi, a cornerback with one season of eligibility left.
