STANFORD — Devon Cajuste visited Stanford during a major recruiting weekend two days after David Shaw became the head coach in January 2011. The big receiver needed no sales pitch from Shaw — just the right answer to his question.
“Coach, you going to move me to tight end?” Shaw recalls Cajuste asking.
“No,” Shaw replied.
“Great,” Cajuste said. “I”m coming.”
One of the first — and fastest — commitments Shaw sealed as coach is looking like a smart move now. The 6-foot-4, 228-pound receiver is developing into one of the team”s top targets after selecting Stanford over eight other schools — including Harvard — because every other program wanted to turn him into a tight end.
“I guess it was just like, ”Give me a shot. Don”t shoot someone down before they even have the opportunity,”” he said.
Cajuste”s career is taking off at just the right time, too.
