Washington reportedly pulled off a coup today by hiring Purdue co-OC/WR coach JaMarcus Shephard as their new Wide Receivers coach. The potential move was first reported by Tom Dienhart of Purdue’s Rivals site and Dawgman has been able to confirm that Shephard accepted the position at Washington.
The 38-year old Shephard has shown to be one of the brightest young receiving coaches in the country over the past 5 years for the Boilermakers and has a strong resume of both recruiting and development.
In consecutive recruiting classes Shephard managed to bring in a 4-star recruit and turn them into a 1st team AP All-American.
