Shane Lemieux

BIOGRAPHY

Shane Jeremy Lemieux was born May 12, 1997 in Yakima, Washington. He is an Offensive Guard in the NFL.

Lemieux played at West Valley High School as a tight end and offensive lineman. He was ranked as the 36th best offensive tackle prospect, and received offers from over half of the Pac-12. Lemieux committed to Oregon on May 3, 2014, choosing the Ducks over South Carolina and Boise State among others.

While Lemieux redshirted his freshman season, he did not miss a start between 2016 and 2019, starting 52 games over those four seasons.

After his junior season, Lemieux and a group of teammates (including quarterback Justin Herbert) considered leaving for the NFL Draft, but collectively decided to stay. Lemieux had also sought out an evaluation from the NFL's College Advisory Board and was advised to return to school.

After his senior season, Lemieux was named a second-team All-American by both the Associated Press and Sporting News, and was named first-team all-Pac-12.

Lemieux was selected by the New York Giants in the fifth round with the 150th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. On Monday Night Football on November 2, he started his first game at left guard for Will Hernandez who tested positive for COVID-19. Lemieux retained the starting position for the remainder of the season, replacing Hernandez at left guard, playing in 12 games with 9 starts as a rookie.
