Anderson Shepherd brings burst, length, and downhill pop to Oglethorpe’s backcourt
Shepherd, a 6'3" freshman guard for Oglethorpe in the 2025-26 season, has shown early flashes as an athletic shot-creator who can attack the rim, hit corner threes, and play with real bounce; in 21 games he has averaged 2.2 points, 1.0 rebound, and 0.5 assists in 7.2 minutes per game while shooting 36.7% from the field. He looks like a developmental fit for a team that values energy, transition pressure, and multi-level scoring upside, especially given reports that he makes highlight-reel plays at the rim and uses a quick crossover to get defenders leaning.
