Cornerback Josh Shaw's act of valor has been well documented, and the following social media communal outreach has been both positive and heartwarming. Read the inspiring words, tweets and reaction to Shaw's injury, and the selfless spirit the redshirt senior cornerback has carried on throughout his entire life.

Re-listening to my Josh Shaw interview from last year - at the end: "make sure you say how much I love & appreciate my family." Definitely.
