Malosi projects as a prototypical X-receiver. He has a great frame and should get to the 6’4-6’5 range and be a physical 200+ lb receiver. He moves well, is good off the line, and has great footwork. He easily creates separation and is a player who is strong at the catch point and does well high-pointing the ball. He shows good speed and will be a redzone and greenzone monster. Malosi wins at all three levels and gets vertical with ease. He’ll be coveted by Power-Four programs and should be a multi-year starter, with exceptional traits to like.

Shepard is a late transfer-in but has quickly made his presence felt. He’ll likely start off on Thursday nights, and even with the depth that Lehi has, I will bet on him suiting up on Fridays and being part of the rotation. He is too good of a player to be kept off the field, at any level. He can win at the boundary or inside as a big slot. He uses his size to his advantage, has good footwork, and is strong at the catch point and tracks the ball well. He’s a player who is waiting to blossom; he’s a name to know now.

During the 7’s event, Shepard popped on several occasions and played against guys two to three years older than him and more than held his own. He has good footwork and is already a nuanced route runner. Shepard creates separation and is strong at the catch point. He had a great day; he’s a future Power-Four recruit. Elite upside.

Shepard had a fantastic showing, and for many coaches, it was their first time seeing him. He has great size, excellent footwork, and exceptionally soft hands with a large catch radius. He is an elite prospect in the 2029 class and a Power-Four talent. He has a bright future and will only grow into his frame. He should get to 6’4 and over 210 lbs.
