About Shep
Expert Analysis
Nate Wahl | Prep Redzone Scout
Shep has been a 2028 defensive end that has been an enforcer on the Cavaliers defensive line thus far this season. All summer long this kid was in the weight room and it’s showing on the field as the now 6’3 225 pounder is showing plenty of skillsets showing his craft. He has the light hands getting off blocks and his long nearly 6’8 wingspan has been disruptive for quarterbacks to find room to throw when he’s down the line into the backfield. You also can’t miss the strength that’s apparent at the point of attack around the edges as Shep is one of the best in this 2028 class and setting the edge with his range with lateral movement more like a linebacker at times.

of Sioux Falls Jefferson. The nearly 6’4 215 pounder has been a powerhouse in the weight room this Spring, raising his stock on the squat rack almost 85 pounds since our last eval which shows to me not only is the motivation to get better already brewing, but I would be remissed that there will be great translation with Shep’s twitch off the snap once the pads start popping this summer at camps into practices before the fall season. Fired up to see what happens over the next 4-5 months for this young man. Twitter
