Shouse burst onto the A-State track and field scene in 1982 and cleared 7-feet, 4.25 inches to take home top honors in the high jump in the Southland Conference Championships to earn the SLC Outstanding Performer for the Outdoor Championships. He repeated the championship performance in the high jump in 1983 with a leap of 7-feet 4.25 inches but his best performances were saved for the 1983 season.

The three-year letterwinner earned All-America status during the 1983 campaign after competing in the NCAA Championships. He set the all-time ASU indoor record for the high jump, clearing 7-feet, 4.25 inches, which still stands to this day. He later went on to finish sixth in the high jump at the NCAA Outdoor Championships that same year.
