Show was recruited by Division I FBS and FCS schools to play football, but elected to take a full scholarship to play basketball at Division I Bucknell University. He would transfer to Division I Binghamton University where he was a three-time captain and holds several basketball records at the school.

Abington Heights coach Joe Repshis on Show: “J.C. was a gifted athlete and exceptional leader.  He was a big, strong wide receiver who ran precise routes and caught everything that was thrown to him.  As a quarterback, he exuded confidence and had total command of the offense at all times.  On defense, he was a physical defensive back who played like a linebacker.  He was an excellent long snapper on the punt team and also the holder for extra points and field goals.  His versatility as a football player was displayed constantly on the field for four years.”
