OU: Shepard ready to leave training table behind By JOHN WERNER Waco Tribune-Herald

For Oklahoma quarterback Trevor Knight, there is nothing more comforting than seeing Sterling Shepard sailing down the sideline to catch a pass.

Healthy again after battling a groin injury last season, Shepard is expected to lead the Sooners receiving corps and contend for All-America honors.

“We’re really excited for him coming back his senior year, and he’s going to do a great job,” Knight said.
