The entire Javonne Shepherd saga came to a halt on Wednesday afternoon when he decided to stay true to his verbal commitment and sign with the Texas Longhorns.
The four-star offensive tackle made his verbal commitment to the Longhorns in late July, and as everyone knows, his recruiting process was up in the air from last summer until he actually signed his National Letter of Intent. Texas A&M was always the biggest threat to the Horns, but after Shepherd made it public that he would be making official visits to College Station, Alabama, and Georgia, no one had a clear read as to where Shepherd might ultimately end up going.
