Early life and high school career
Shannon was interested in basketball from a young age, especially after experiencing a growth spurt early in high school.[1] He attended Lincoln Park High School in Chicago, averaging 15 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game as a senior.[2] Shannon was also a receiver on the school's football team.[3] After having no NCAA Division I basketball scholarship offers by the end of his senior season, he reclassified to the 2019 class and moved to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.[4] He drew attention from college programs due to his success with Mac Irvin Fire on the Amateur Athletic Union circuit.[5] A four-star recruit, he originally committed to DePaul before switching his commitment to Texas Tech.[6] He chose the Red Raiders over offers from DePaul, Florida State, Georgetown and Illinois.[7]
College career
On December 4, 2019, Shannon recorded a freshman season-high 24 points and eight rebounds in a 65–60 overtime loss to DePaul.[8] As a freshman, he averaged 9.8 points and 4.1 rebounds per game, earning Big 12 All-Freshman Team honors.[9] Entering his sophomore season, Shannon was named to the Julius Erving Award watch list.[10]
