It is time for the redshirt sophomore defensive tackle to become a stalwart. Forget about the fact that Shime's football career is somewhat different from the 99 other players on Maryland's roster. For starters, Shime is in just his fourth season of playing football. Then consider that Shime came from Cameroon to the United States for his last two years of high school largely because of his basketball skills. Finally, think about the fact that his parents never have seen a football game and that Shime's status as a major-college football player means little in his homeland.
Soccer is everything in Cameroon.
Soccer, then volleyball and tennis. Football is nothing. People think it is rough and dangerous, barbaric. It's like it is savage. But Shime likes it.
