Earlier this month, CU receiver La'Vontae Shenault resolved a case from when he was arrested on July 5 by Fort Collins Police on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, a license violation and driving without headlights at night. On May 10, Shenault, who was 19 at the time of his arrest, pleaded guilty to possession of alcohol by a minor and was given a three-month deferred sentence. If he can avoid other trouble through Aug. 13, he can withdraw his guilty plea and have his record kept clean. Shenault, a redshirt freshman, caught 17 passes for 193 yards last season. He was suspended for the 2020 season opener because of his July 5 arrest. He was also suspended for the Valero Alamo Bowl for a violation of team rules but was praised throughout this spring by coaches for his leadership in a young receiver room. - Denver Post

Receiver La'Vontae Shenault has a few off-the-field traffic incidents in the past year, but he's also flashed his tremendous talent. In the early going of spring, Dorrell said he's seeing some maturity in the redshirt freshman, who was suspended twice last season but caught 17 passes for 193 yards in the four games he played. "I would say it's an ongoing process, but he's getting so much better," Dorrell said of Shenault, who was recently recognized by the team for his academic work. "He's growing up. Vontae is a very passionate kid. He's doing a lot of really positive things right now. He's doing great in school; he's having his best semester he's had since he's been here in school, so that's a big positive."

Dorrell also said Shenault is stepping up as a vocal leader in the receiver room. "He's doing a great job this offseason, in training," Dorrell said. "He looks great and he's practicing great. There's a positive vibe that he's going through right now. We're hoping there's a consistency that he can develop and maintain for the rest of his career. If he does that, he has a chance to be special." - Daily Camera
