On Wednesday afternoon, surrounded by friends and family at North Laurel High School in London, KY, Sheppard signed his national letter of intent with UK. He will join the program in the summer. Sheppard initially committed to Kentucky in Nov. 2021, the first from the class of 2023 to choose the ‘Cats. He is considered a four-star prospect and the No. 31 overall high school senior in the country, per the On3 Consensus.
The 6-foot-3 combo guard is one of four class of 2023 commits for Kentucky right now. Five-star future ‘Cat Justin Edwards is expected to sign Wednesday evening while a pair of five-star commits, Aaron Bradshaw and Robert Dillingham, will sign later during the early signing period, which ends one week from today on Nov.
