veteran UTSA linebacker with old-school toughness
Dominic Sheppard brings experienced, physical linebacker play to UTSA, with a career arc that includes a redshirt at Virginia, a season-ending preseason injury, and later snaps in 2020 for the Roadrunners. The appeal is his toughness and front-seven know-how: he was a highly productive high-school defender with 388 tackles and 10 forced fumbles, which hints at a downhill, disruptive style rather than a flashy stat-sheet profile. If you want a seasoned, no-nonsense linebacker who fits a contact-heavy defense, he’s worth a look.
