Paul Shu
Paul Shu was a star athlete at George Washington High School in Alexandria, Virginia, before attending Virginia Military Institute. Shu was the first Virginia Military Keydet to letter in four sports, football, baseball, basketball and track. He earned the nickname of "Pounding Paul" during his football days at VMI.
In 1937 and 1938, Shu was selected First-Team All Southern Conference. Due to a knee injury in 1939, which reduced his speed and mobility, Shu was shifted to the position of blocking back, where he excelled. He was drafted in the 10th round of the 1940 NFL draft, but because of the risk of further injury, completed only part of a season with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Shu is inducted into the Virginia Military Institute Hall of Fame and is recognized as one of its All-Time Outstanding Athletes. He was awarded the Virginia Military Institute Committee Medal by the College Faculty for the Most Distinguished in Efficiency of Service in Excellence and Character.
