Cornerback Shelby Osborne has signed a letter of intent with Campbellsville University in Kentucky.
Shelby Osborne, a student at Jefforsonville High School in Indiana, was watching her school's team play a particularly frustrating game of football when she found herself shouting, "I could play better than that!" So she did.
Shelby told ESPN she's been athletic her whole life, but bounced from sport to sport before committing to football. She played in high school as a cornerback.

She says her high school teammates were unconvinced at first, serving her particularly hard hits, but by the end of the season she couldn't imagine life without her teammates. Convincing college coaches, however, proved more difficult.
