Russell Shealy

Russell Shealy (born September 26, 1999) is an American professional soccer player.

Russell Shealy was born to Dr. Jim Shealy and Maureen Shealy in Cartersville, Georgia and attended Darlington School in Rome, Georgia.

During high school, he played for the Concorde Fire soccer club, Atlanta United Academy (Atlanta United 2), and US Youth Soccer.

After high school, Shealy was rated by Top Drawer Soccer as the No. 102 recruit in the country and he was recruited by Wofford College and the University of Maryland. In his junior year of high school, he committed to Wofford but soon decided to join Maryland squad instead.

During his freshman year in 2018, Shealy redshirted at Maryland, serving as the main backup behind Dayne St. Clair on Maryland's National Championship team. When St. Clair left early for MLS, Shealy was named the first-choice keeper at the start of the 2019 season, but lost the spot to German Niklas Neumann.

In 2020, Shealy transferred to Syracuse and made his first start for SU men's soccer after waiting for only three games. Michael Flynn was his position coach at Syracuse. He was a Communication and Rhetorical Studies major at Syracuse.

In 2022, he set program records for goalkeeper minutes in a season (2,220) and goalkeeper wins in a season (18–2–4). Shealy started 24 of the 25 matches on the way to the 2022 NCAA National Championship title and tallied 16 shutouts in 43 games, including posting 10 shutouts, career-highs in saves (72), goals against average (0.73), save percentage (0.800), and clean sheets (10).

At the end of the 2022 season, the team won the national championship and Shealy was named 2022 Men's College Cup's Defensive Most Outstanding Player.
