I just watched his highlight films on Rivals and noted his stats.

Rushing - 1500+ 18TDs 8.7/carry
Passing - 40% 12/9 TD to INT ratio over his soph & jr years.

What position is this guy going to play at LSU? I would think he is not going to be a QB unless he comes in just to run the ball.

if you have this guy as your QB all I am going to think is Brent Schaefer. does not scare me at all. You can compare him to Kodi Burns who
rushed for around 1,000 and threw at 60% for over 2,000 yards and 20TDs a season.

he still has his sr year to play. Apparently he's made GREAT strides in his passing skills. He's been working with Jeff Blake as his coach.

At all the bitter Texas fans. It would be pure comedy if we got Mcfarland and Loston to go with him. I'd love to see the threads Longhorn fans would make about us cheating, paying off, or we didn't need them. Hook'em where it hurts!

He threw for 40% his soph year in HS which was the first year he ever played QB. Shepard has all the talent in the world and the work ethic to go along w/ it. Worst case, he's Pat White.

Kodi Burns put up stats in Arkansas high school, I'm so impressed. He might be a good QB, but you Auburn fans act like he's the second coming of VY and he might not even win the starting job.

Let Shep play his senior year, in a little better competition, Texas 5A, and then tell us he won't be a QB.

Hes such a horrible QB that Scout says hes further along his passing skills than Pryor was at this time last year...

Yea, he definitely will be a WR considering hes still developing at QB. Stack 9 in the box because you're going to have to respect his speed/athleticism, then he'll toss the rock to a wide open receiver.

This guy is probably the best overall athlete in the country this year, he has Michael Vick ability without the character issues.

Auburn's playmakers will be

I am gonna take a wild card here and say Tristan Davis

But that is besides the point. I am asking if you honestly think Shep will be a QB for LSU. When we he develop his passing game?
