A choice presented itself after head coach Derek Mason was relieved for Clark Lea in 2020 following the 0-9 season. Many of Sheppard’s teammates were entering the transfer portal, as uncertainty about the new coach flooded the locker room.
“I don’t really quit on things. I wanted to feel things out and see what happened. It was only my first year here … so I was like, ‘Let me stick with it,’” Sheppard said. “Older receivers like [Chris Pierce Jr.], [Cam Johnson] and [Amir Abdur- Rahman] were all sticking with it so we all came together and decided to go out there and do what we do regardless of who they brought in.”
