Got this off his Facebook page:

Shane LaDage
Heading to the University of Wyoming to coach Tight Ends. Thanks to everyone who's helped me along the way! Go Cowboys!

LaDage prepped in Parker, Colo., at Ponderosa. He played his college ball at Division II Southwest Minnesota State University (my alma mater) and coached here for two seasons after graduation. Last year he coached at Division II St Josephs College in Indiana.

You got a good one.

Twitter handle is @CoachLaDage.

Found this from way back in 2005, when he was being recruited before his senior season at Ponderosa:

Another prospect from Ponderosa to keep an eye on is Shane LaDage. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound tight end prospect was a second-team all-league selection as a sophomore in 2003 and he caught 16 passes for 215 yards as a junior last season.

"I am a physical player that will block until the whistle," LaDage expressed. "I also am not afraid to catch passes over the middle and like to take on tacklers."

Colorado, Colorado State, Oregon, Northern Colorado and Hawaii have been sending mail. He also has interest in Wyoming.

"I recently was up at the 7-on-7 tournament at CU and got a chance to talk with Coach Wristen," LaDage explained. "He said I did a real good job and I am going back up on the 30th of July for a one day camp."

Shane's father attended college at Colorado and he grew up a fan of the Buffaloes.
