John H. "Shebo" Shultz (c. 1909 – November 28, 1932) was an American football player.
Shultz attended Pen Argyl High School in eastern Pennsylvania. He played college football for Temple from 1927 to 1929. As a senior in 1929, he converted on 48 of 52 runs for first down.[1] While playing for Temple, The Philadelphia Inquirer described him as Temple's best defensive back and a "star of the first order."[2]
He also played professional football in the National Football League (NFL) as a fullback for the Frankford Yellow Jackets in 1930. He appeared in six NFL games, one as a starter.[3]
Shultz later became coach of the undefeated Ashland High School football team. He died in an automobile crash in November 1932.[4] He was buried at St. Elizabeth's Cemetery in Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania.[5] [6]
