Ashun Shepphard brings proven JUCO production and SEC-ready size to the defensive front
Shepphard is a powerful, physical DL with a real track record: he made an immediate impact at Mississippi State in 2024 with 25 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and 0.5 sacks, and his earlier JUCO season showed bigger disruption potential with 39 tackles, 9 tackles for loss and 4 sacks. He is valued for his size, toughness and effort, with EA’s latest ratings highlighting strong acceleration, strength, toughness and finesse-move traits. The one caution is recent production dipped in a 2025 redshirt season, so he looks best as a high-motor rotational piece rather than an instant headline-maker.
