The Horns landed a big commitment in a big area of need from a very big man. The North Houston native goes 6-6 with a reported weight anywhere between 315 to 340 but has the innate athleticism to have run a sub 5.0 40 at the Frisco Opening. That’s a NFL combine number for a not-yet-senior in high school. Currently ranked a lowish 4 star by 24-7 consensus, I expect that .911 average number to move up in his senior season. Too many attributes.
Shepherd is massive, powerful, athletic and raw, but you can’t teach frame, length and movement.
