Jaguars Re-Sign Tyler Shatley

A former Clemson lineman is locked back in with his longtime NFL team.

The Jacksonville Jaguars announced Friday they have re-signed Tyler Shatley.

The 6-foot-3, 305-pound OL has spent a decade playing with the Jaguars, and it’s the only team he’s suited up for in the NFL since being signed by Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent in May 2014.

In his 10 seasons with the Jaguars (2014-23), Shatley has played in 145 games and currently owns the franchise record for most consecutive games played (140).

The Icard, N.C., native was named the Jaguars’ nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award during the 2022 season.

Shatley — who came to Clemson as a member of Dabo Swinney’s first recruiting class from 2009 that he dubbed the “Dandy Dozen” — began his Clemson career (2009-13) as a fullback for the Tigers, before moving to the defensive line in 2010 and the offensive line in the spring of 2012.

He played in 51 games and made 27 starts during his career as a Tiger, including 25 starts on offense over his final two seasons when he registered 60 knockdowns over 1,776 snaps.
