Shawn Michael Oakman (born April 7, 1992) is an American football defensive end who is currently a free agent. He played college football for the Baylor Bears.
Oakman attended Penn Wood High School in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania. He played both football and basketball. He committed to play college football at Penn State University in July 2010.
Oakman was redshirted as a true freshman at Penn State in 2011. In February 2012, Oakman was dismissed from Penn State for violation of team rules. On St. Patrick's Day of 2011, Oakman went to "The Mix", a store on Penn State's campus. Without any money left on his student card, he concealed a sandwich. After an employee approached him and asked him if he was going to pay for the sandwich hidden in his coat, Oakman denied it. He then attempted to purchase a juice, where the cashier then held his card, he grabbed the employee's wrist, commandeered his card, placed the sandwich and drink on the counter, and proceeded to leave. On Monday, May 13, 2011, after multiple messages by head coach Bill O'Brien, he was told that he was dismissed from the Nittany Lions football team. He transferred to Baylor University in July 2012.
As per NCAA transfer rules, Oakman took the entire 2012 season off. Oakman played in 13 games as a backup defensive end in 2013. He recorded 33 tackles and two sacks. In his first year as a starter, Oakman had a breakout season in 2014. He finished the season with 19.5 tackles for loss and 11.0 sacks. He earned third-team All-America honors from the Associated Press and was a consensus All-Big 12 selection. Oakman was projected by some analysts and scouts to be a first round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. Instead of declaring for the draft, he decided to return to Baylor for his senior season. In 2015, Oakman was not able to match his successful 2014 season. He recorded only 4.5 sacks in 2015.
