The four-time All-American at Weber State won a Super Bowl ring with the Seattle Seahawks.

From Weber State to a Super Bowl Champion! 

Weber State legend Rashid Shaheed became the seventh Wildcat to ever win a Super Bowl ring as he helped lead the Seattle Seahawks to a 29-13 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Sunday, February 8, 2026, in Santa Clara, California. 

Shaheed became just the third former Weber State player to ever start in a Super Bowl. He had two receptions for 27 yards and also had one rushing attempt. He also had one kickoff return for 20 yards and two punt returns for 16 yards. 

After being traded to the Seahawks from the New Orleans Saints during the season, Shaheed made a big impact with the Seahawks at the end of the season and the playoffs. In three playoff games, he had three receptions for 78 yards and had a 95-yard kickoff return touchdown in the NFC Division win over the San Francisco 49ers. 

After four seasons in the NFL, Shaheed is a two-time Pro Bowl, an All-NFL player, and now has a Super Bowl ring. 

He has played 51 career regular season games and started in 32 games. He has three punt return touchdowns and one kickoff return touchdown. He also has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns. In the playoffs, he has one kickoff return touchdown.

Shaheed was a standout with the Wildcats from 2017-21. He is the player in Weber State history to earn All-America honors four times in a career. He also earned first-team All-Big Sky honors four times, one of only three players to ever do so. 

He helped Weber State win four straight Big Sky titles from 2017-20 and reach the FCS Playoffs four times, including the semifinals in 2019. 

He ended his career as the FCS all-time leader in kickoff return touchdowns with seven. He is WSU's all-time leader in career kickoff return average at 29. He played in 53 games in his Wildcat career and finished his career with 5,478 all-purpose yards, which ranks as the third most in WSU history, and is also third in career punt return yardage. He is also seventh in career receiving yards with 2,178 yards and 18 touchdowns, and ranks 10th in career receptions with 147.
