Shelby Osborne - First Ever Female College Defensive Back

Meet Shelby Osborne, college football's first female defensive back

Shelby Osborne will be attending Campbellsville University in Kentucky next year to play football. She answered SB Nation's questions about how she got into football, her recruiting process and what she expects in her first season of college football.

Last week, Shelby Osborne of Jeffersonville High School in Indiana made history when she committed to play football for Campbellsville University, becoming the first female defensive back in college football history.

Osborne, listed at 5'6, 140 pounds, has played just one year of football, but served as JV captain and appeared in JV games playing cornerback, safety, wide receiver and gunner on the punt return team. She also appeared at cornerback in five varsity games. And football isn't all she does. She was active in her school's drama department and even wrote a play called "Backwoods Football."

She's on course to become only the second woman to play a non-specialist position in college football -- several others have played placekicker.
