HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Shanahan alumnus Doug Costin, Class of 2016, who signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars of the NFL! God bless you on this wonderful accomplishment!
|
Former Bishop Shanahan defensive tackle Doug Costin signed a free agent contract Sunday with the Jacksonville Jaguars after a stellar career at Miami University (Ohio).
Downingtown East graduate Dan Chisena, a speedy receiver and special teams star at Penn State, will head north as he tries to make the roster with the Minnesota Vikings.
Costin was a three year starter in college and was named first-team all-Mid American Conference in 2019. Costin recorded 58 tackles and four sacks in 2019 and for his career he played 50 games and registered 178 tackles and 17 sacks.
“This is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream,” Costin said by phone Sunday. “I have been working toward this for a real long time and I am really excited to be going to Jacksonville. I was FaceTiming with their coaches and it seems like a great place to play football. I am going to go down there and work as hard as I can and see what happens. The coaches made me feel very comfortable when I spoke to them. I am excited.”
Costin’s high school head coach at Bishop Shanahan, Paul Meyers, talked about Costin, who would be the first former Eagle to play in the NFL if he makes a roster this fall.
“Doug is a great kid who works hard, is humble and is a student of the game,” Meyers said. “His athleticism will help him make the team. He can play defensive tackle as well as special teams. I am so happy for him.”
Costin, a 2014 graduate of Bishop Shanahan, said his time as an Eagle helped him on and off the field.
“Coming out of middle school I was a little childish,” Costin said. “I feel Bishop Shanahan really prepared me for college both on and off the field. I really feel it was important to be ready for life after football because football will be over some time, and Bishop Shanahan really helped me on and off the field.”
