Shepard made his presence known on the field for the Wildcats during his junior stint of high school football last year. In addition to excellent size and speed, what stands out about Shepard is his well-balanced playstyle and ability to always be locked in offensively. The rising senior out of Somerville, TN. additionally caught my attention with his impressive physical edge, his composure and his ability to absorb defensive pressure.
