Former Gamecock QB Connor Shaw has been named as South Carolina's representative for the 2025 SEC Football Legends Class. Shaw, the winningest quarterback in South Carolina history, left an enduring legacy during his career from 2010 to 2013.
Shaw posted a remarkable 27-5 record as a starter, including a perfect 17-0 mark at Williams-Brice Stadium. He ranks in the top 10 in eight major career categories at USC, including first in touchdowns responsible for and second in passing touchdowns.
Known for his accuracy and toughness, Shaw delivered some of the program’s most iconic performances—such as completing 20 straight passes in a 2012 win over Missouri and leading a dramatic comeback against #5 Missouri in 2013 despite injury.
In his final game, the Capital One Bowl, he accounted for five touchdowns and earned MVP honors. Shaw’s NFL career, which included time with the Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears, was shortened by injury.
The class will be honored at the 2025 SEC Football “Weekend of Champions” December 5-6 in Atlanta, Ga., highlighted by the annual SEC Legends Celebration presented by T-Mobile on Friday, December 5, at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.
The group will also be recognized prior to the SEC Football Championship Game, which will be held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday, December 6th.
