Wide receiver Sterling Shepard wears his Oklahoma helmet for one last week of practices at this week’s Reese’s Senior Bowl. Shepard, 5-10, 191, wears the Sooners helmet and the No. 3 in honor of his late father. Derrick Shepard lettered at wide receiver for OU from 1983-1986. The younger Shepard finished his four-year career as a sooner as well.
“That’s been a lifelong goal of mine to play at Oklahoma,” Shepard said in an exclusive interview with Texans TV. “I’ve seen a lot of great receivers go through there and seen the mark they’ve made for themselves and I definitely wanted to be one of those top guys.
