Shawn Loiseau (/loʊˈiːsoʊ/ loh-EE-soh; born October 10, 1989) is an American professional football linebacker for the Massachusetts Pirates of the National Arena League (NAL). He is one of the most decorated student-athletes in Merrimack College history, and became the first Merrimack Warrior ever to sign an NFL deal.[1]
A native of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, Loiseau attended Shrewsbury High School,[2] where he set team record with 136 tackles as a senior in 2007.[citation needed] He was named Massachusetts Defensive Player of the Year and helped his team to a Central Massachusetts Division 1A championship, but was ignored by Division I schools because of an assault and battery conviction in his junior year after he slammed a kid to the ground.[3]
He played college football at Merrimack College. Loiseau finished his career with 382 tackles, including 377 in his final three seasons, ranking him first all-time in school history. He broke the school record for tackles in a season with 133 in 2010 and was named 2nd team All-American. Loiseau was twice named Northeast-10 Conference Defensive Player of the Year, marking the first time a Merrimack player earned that award on two occasions.[1]
