Tyler Shough (born September 28, 1999) is an American professional football quarterback for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Oregon Ducks, Texas Tech Red Raiders, and Louisville Cardinals. Shough was selected by the Saints in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft.
His elder sisters attended Hamilton High School in Chandler, where Shough and his younger brother Brady played in the football program. According to the family, he was friends with future Major League Baseball player Cody Bellinger while they were students at Hamilton.
As a senior, Shough played for Hamilton in its 2017 season when allegations of hazing were publicized, which resulted in the conviction of three players and the permanent reassignment of three administrators, including head coach Steve Belles, to Chandler Unified School District (CUSD) offices. Shough was not implicated in the scandal. His team made it to the 6A state quarterfinals, and he earned a first-team 6A Premier League and all-CUSD awards. He was also selected as a Semper Fidelis All-American, from the US Marine Corps. Hamilton had an overall 15–9 record with Shough as a starter setting school records with the most losses, completions, attempts, yards, and touchdowns in the school's 20-year history.
Shough's performance was questioned when the heavily favored Oregon team lost back-to-back games against Oregon State and California. Due to the losses, Oregon would not have made it to the Pac-12 championship if Washington had not cancelled a regular season game against Oregon due to COVID-19 restrictions, a game that would have decided the Pac-12 North race between Oregon and Washington. Despite Shough starting the Pac-12 Championship Game against USC, Boston College transfer Anthony Brown began to take offensive series.
On December 5, 2023, it was announced that Shough had transferred to the University of Louisville. During the 2024 season, Shough led the Cardinals as QB1 to a regular season record of 8–4, 5–3 in ACC play. Notable individual performances include a four-touchdown, 342 yards-passing showing in a 52–45 loss to the University of Miami (FL) at home, as well as playing a major role in the 33–21 upset win vs Clemson on the road.
At the University of Louisville, as of the end of the 2024 regular season, Shough is 2nd all-time in yards per game passing (266.3) as well as 2nd all-time in touchdowns per game passing (1.92).
On December 11, 2024, Shough opted out the 2024 Sun Bowl between Louisville and Washington to prepare for the 2025 NFL draft. On December 17, 2024, Shough was among three winners for Comeback Player of the Year awarded by the College Sports Communicators (CSC) organization alongside Utah State DB Ike Larsen and South Carolina RB Raheim Sanders. On November 27, 2024, Shough accepted an invitation to the 2025 Senior Bowl.
