TCU’s shot-blocking, high-motor big man who made an early recruiting splash
Shepherd arrived at TCU as one of the program’s most highly regarded recruits, known for size, athleticism, and rim protection, and he finished his TCU career with 103 blocks, 635 rebounds, and 855 points across 131 games. In the 2016-17 season, he played all 39 games, averaged 4.4 points and 2.4 rebounds, and shot an efficient 57.5% from the field, showing a low-usage, defense-first profile. He’s a fit for teams needing length, energy, and interior defense more than a featured scorer.
