Will Sheppard News, Rumors, Updates - Colorado Buffaloes

Logs 57 yards in win Sheppard caught all six targets for 67 yards during Friday's 52-0 victory versus Oklahoma State.

Impact Sheppard trailed far behind Travis Hunter and Lajohntay Wrbster in targets and yardage, he still made a nice contribution in his last regular season game of his college career. Playing on a national stage with the Buffaloes certainly increased his visibility for NFL scouts, and he has a great frame and skill set to advance his pro aspirations.

Contained to one catch Sheppard had one reception (on three targets) for 10 yards during Saturday's 37-21 defeat to Kansas.

Impact Sheppard is an example of the potential volatility of Colorado's receiving corps, as candidates for the best production can often be a dart throw. Travis Hunter provides the team with its only weekly guarantee, but other wideouts can pop without warning. Sheppard still has a respectable stat line for his senior year, with 41 receptions for 550 yards and six touchdowns.

Logs 59 receving yards in loss Sheppard caught all three targets for 59 yards during Saturday's 28-10 defeat versus Nebraska.

Impact Sheppard is in a fortunate situation with Shedur Sanders calling the shots. Colorado's defense will prevent the team from success un the win-loss column, but receivers like Sheppard will benefit from their quarterback's elite production. Travis Hunter is the best wideout target in the offense, but Sheppard will also show up with positive numbers this season.

Takes back seat in passing offense Sheppard posted two receptions (on three targets) for 23 yards during Thursday's 31-26 victory against North Dakota State.

Impact A transfer from Vanderbilt, Sheppard figures to play a crucial role in Colorado's passing attack, but he was mostly left out of the action against North Dakota State. With talents like Travis Hunter and Jimmy Horn competing for receptions, it may be difficult for Sheppard to replicate his massive totals with the Commodores.

Headed to Boulder Sheppard will transfer to Colorado, Hayes Fawcett of On3.com reports.

Impact Sheppard, one of the top wideouts in the portal, has found his home with Deion Sanders and Colorado. He spent four seasons at Vanderbilt, where he consistently put up production from his sophomore year on. In 2023, Sheppard accounted for 47 catches for 684 yards and eight touchdowns. He'll likely work his way into the starting lineup for the Buffaloes immediately.

Non-contact in practice Sheppard (undisclosed) was seen practicing in a non-contact jersey, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.

Impact While Sheppard practicing is good, undergoing non-contact practice is not as promising, especially with Vanderbilt expected to host Auburn in just a little over 48 hours. For now, his availability remains questionable as the Commodores prepare for Saturday.

NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 10 Sheppard (undisclosed) is questionable for Vanderbilt's game Saturday against Auburn, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.

Impact Sheppard sat out the later part of Vanderbilt's latest game because he got roughed up, as head coach Clark Lea confirmed Tuesday. The wide receiver has easily been Vandy's best receiver of 2023 thus far, so his absence will be a huge detriment to the team's chances against Auburn.

Quiet showing in loss Sheppard caught four passes for just 17 yards during Saturday's 33-7 defeat to Mississippi.

Impact Sheppard has hit a bit of a wall recently, grabbing just five balls for 41 yards in the last two contests. He should find a bit more success against Auburn next weekend, though.
