That's just not true. While it's true that colleges that ran a pro set were looking at Shepard as an athlete, there were several colleges recruiting him to be a DT QB.

He was a RB his first year at LSU until a guy from Georgia almost broke him in half. Than the receiver project started...
Wow, 0 for 3 in that quote.

Shepard was focusing on QB until halfway through the 2009 regular season. Just after the Florida game, Shepard was able to talk Miles into transitioning Shepard to WR. It didn't become official until spring practice 2010.

Man, I love your conviction but get your facts straight if you are going to correct me. His freshman season he had 45 rushing attempts and 5 receptions. He practiced with the running backs. He was a running back. He did not focus as a QB and he was never recruited as such by LSU. He started working with the receivers his sophomore year but still had as many touches and yards running the ball as he did catching the ball...His Junior and Senior year he didn't do much. He had horrible hands and did not make a strong play on the ball. He looks better now actually.
