Rushel Shell III is an American football running back from Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. As a high school senior running back at Hopewell high school he was regarded by many as one of the top high school athletes in the country. He was ranked as the 11th best overall prospect in the class of 2012 by MaxPreps, 20th by Scout.com, 24th by ESPNU and 45th by Rivals.com. After receiving countless scholarship offers from top football programs throughout the country, Shell announced his commitment to Pitt on October 14. Prior to his Sophomore season, Shell quit the Pitt football team with the intention to transfer to another school. Shell initially decided to transfer to UCLA, but then tried to return to Pitt, but coach Paul Chryst refused Shell's request. Shell ultimately narrowed his choices of transfer destinations to the University of Kentucky and West Virginia University, before deciding to enroll at West Virginia.
