Struggling with a hearing impairment and limited playing time, a guy that once figured to be the star of the Rebel secondary is reportedly close to calling it quits.
In the immediate aftermath of allowing a redshirt freshman to throw for four touchdowns and complete 83 percent of his passes, a struggling Ole Miss secondary appears to be losing a cornerback that just two months ago looked poised for stardom. The Ole Miss Spirit is reporting that Tee Shepard is contemplating quitting the team and "appears to be gone."
Hugh Freeze said on Monday that Shepard, whose supposed triumph over a hearing impairment was the feel-good story of the offseason, has been limited by communication issues and had particular trouble in the raucous environment at the Swamp.
