Holy cow this would be a pretty nice coup if UFM could land Shepard. He's a stud.

I do not know anything about technique but I love his measurables.

Some background information (dated September 13, 2013):

After a whirlwind of academic issues, such as having to sit out his senior season at high school because of transfer rules or being deemed ineligible by the NCAA due to correspondence courses taken to graduate from high school while at the University of Notre Dame, the five-star cornerback by Rivals in 2012 landed in Goodman at Holmes to begin his freshman campaign this January. He was rated the fourth best cornerback and 76th best player overall in 2012.

Shepard played as a junior at Fresno (Calif.) Central East and then transferred back to Fresno Washington Union, where he was ruled ineligible to play after returning to Washington Union. He then went to Notre Dame after thinking he had completed all requirements for high school. He enrolled at Notre Dame in early 2012 and practiced with the team in the spring but never played a game. He was forced to sit out to reclaim his eligibility status. Shepard then came to Holmes in January 2013 after the long hiatus.

One thing Bulldog fans and others in the MACJC or NJCAA may not know is Shepard has worn hearing aids since elementary school, but you would not know by his attitude or playing ability.
“I’ve had hearing issues since the second or third grade or have worn hearing aids since that time,” Shepard said. “I’ve always had to sit in front of the class.”

Apparently some of his academic problems were related to "hearing issues".

I seem to recall that he felt mislead when he got to ND because he was under the impression that they would provide him with some sort of help so he could attend classes where he couldn't hear the lecturer. Apparently that didn't happen.

Love how this kid plays the game. Very aware of what's going on around him when he's on the field and makes plays. He would be physically ready to play in the B1G when he steps on campus. Hard not to root for this kid with that story too.

Would love to see him in S&G because I think he'd add a lot to this team when this current group of SR DB's (+ Roby) leave after this year.
