The grandson of legendary former Blue Streak Don Shula '51 spent one season (2014) as the leader of a John Carroll defense, helping the Blue Streaks reach the NCAA Division III national quarterfinals. 

Super Bowl LIII is scheduled to be played on February 3, 2019, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m., and the game will air on the CBS television network.
