His vision is outstanding. The way he sets up his blocks is incredible. This kid is going to be special. He may not be a solid QB in the SEC, but he will be feared by all the SEC teams.
Out of all of those touchdowns Shep scored, not once did you see him do some stupid celebration or crazy flip dive in the endzone. With this kid you're getting the very best, the leadership traits of Tim Tebow combined with the skills and explosiveness of Pat White.
The boy has an incredible arm, incredible fast release and accuracy, he just needs a little more power. Even if he couldn't run the football he'd still be an amazing QB. But yeah lets just wait and see what happens at LSU =)
I just don't see anything wrong with this kid except for his size. I hate to say it, but if he gets a little bigger, LSU is going to be a force to reckon with. It kills me that they got someone this good. He plays like Vick, but it looks like his passing is far superior as far as precision.
The coach said right in the beginning that they would find a spot on the team for him somewhere. Inferring, QB was not in the cards most likely. Sad, as he would have been a superstar dual QB today..
I can already see Gary Crowton smiling and all of the defensive coordinators of the other SEC schools shaking their heads. He's only going to get better at LSU, that means he will get stronger, faster, and a better passer. Could it be this year's recruiting class could be better than the 2003 or 2004 class, If so that means another National Championship is in LSU's future within 3 years.
I was looking for russell shepard passing ability bc as an LSU fan IVE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE and this showed me what the kid can do....wtf are LSU coaches doing?!?! why is he now our signal caller???
iv never seen such good blocks downfield by the WR's when hes running. But overall he looks pretty dam good, i havent seen him play much but from what i hear hes not the best when it comes to passing
The guy youre thinking of is kevin newsome not this kid. sheppard had been LSU right from the start kevin newsome was the one that commited and then decommited and eventually landed in happy vally with JoePa
@jnsprop77 its a whole different game at the college level. he may excell at the highschool level in this vid, but he may not do as well in college. dont get me wrong hes a gud footbell player, just maybe not at the next level
@LSUNYYBUF Shep doesn't have college level accuracy. Even in the video he's throwing ducks to receivers who have to constantly break on the ball. And, yes Russell is very fast, but it looks even faster against highschool competition
hes a great runnner, but he needs to work on his passing game, half the time in the highllights, the coverage bites on a fake or somethin so he just lobs one up.
To bad he had to play for Les Miles who never gave him a fair shot. He looks better throwing the ball as high school qb than Jordan Jefferson does as a senior college qb.
it also doesnt help when we think we can run the ball. miles clearly has no confidence in his qb and sets him up for failure. we have the worst offense in the SEC, not my opinion, fact.
Didn't u see the guy running all those tds at the start of the vid? He's like barry sanders omg are u blind? He ran for 11 tds in 3 playoff games last year... Texas football games too..
His vision is outstanding. The way he sets up his blocks is incredible. This kid is going to be special. He may not be a solid QB in the SEC, but he will be feared by all the SEC teams.
This guy is going to thrill the college football world! Tear it up in the SEC Russell!!!
Out of all of those touchdowns Shep scored, not once did you see him do some stupid celebration or crazy flip dive in the endzone. With this kid you're getting the very best, the leadership traits of Tim Tebow combined with the skills and explosiveness of Pat White.
This kid will bring the title back to LSU before he leaves college. This will be better than the 2001 class that brought LSU to the top.
Shep is going to be a STUD. Can't wait! Geaux Tigers!
dudes a stud..
great arm great legs
Just short of running for 2000 yards and passing for another 1850 yards his last year in h.s. wow!
SUPER STAR!!!
The only negative, which is a glaring one, is that he doesn't take snaps under center. Even if he never does, he will be a good WR.
Love how Les never even gave this guy a shot to be QB when we needed one so badly. Another great decision!
I remember seein him play throughout high school. While he was playin with cyridge, and mcguffie was playin with cyfair.
this man is nice....
The boy has an incredible arm, incredible fast release and accuracy, he just needs a little more power. Even if he couldn't run the football he'd still be an amazing QB. But yeah lets just wait and see what happens at LSU =)
that guy is a serious dual threat at QB
I just don't see anything wrong with this kid except for his size. I hate to say it, but if he gets a little bigger, LSU is going to be a force to reckon with. It kills me that they got someone this good. He plays like Vick, but it looks like his passing is far superior as far as precision.
LSU Destroyed this guy's career
true
+NightHawk504 he's a wide receiver in the NFL. it's a shame he didn't work out at QB in college no doubt, but he wasn't destroyed.
Well he wasn't properly utilized that's for sure and I love LSU, but we would have destroyed Bama if we knew how to use the weapons we had
The coach said right in the beginning that they would find a spot on the team for him somewhere. Inferring, QB was not in the cards most likely. Sad, as he would have been a superstar dual QB today..
I can't believe they gave him only an 88 speed rating in NCAA 2010. Dude should atleast be a 90.
wr # 14 seems to be his favorite target
wow, he makes the other people look like they're in slow mo
My high school, Cy Creek, beat him that year and his Rams. We stormed the field. it was awesome.
got damn this guys got a good offensive line. he gets alot of time to throw the ball.
yes, he started for one of the teams in the Spring Game
Might be the best high school quarterback i've ever seen!!!
This video is awesome. I actually watched the entire thing (normally find highlight videos boring). Incredible athelete.
sick block at 0:33
i like his ability to find the open referee post touchdown
he wasnt terrible, caught a touchdown pass and ran the ball effectively.
russell along with jordan jefferson will just make our QB position that much better!! Geaux Tigers!
wow number 14 WR caught just about every td pass. Wonder who is recruiting him
Song is l'estasi dell'oro ennio morricone remix
Heck, he looks more polished as a high school QB than LSU's current starting QB, JJ.
I can't wait to see Shepard in purple and gold!
i agree 110%
I can already see Gary Crowton smiling and all of the defensive coordinators of the other SEC schools shaking their heads. He's only going to get better at LSU, that means he will get stronger, faster, and a better passer. Could it be this year's recruiting class could be better than the 2003 or 2004 class, If so that means another National Championship is in LSU's future within 3 years.
that boyy russ..from my skoo..cypress ridge
I was looking for russell shepard passing ability bc as an LSU fan IVE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE and this showed me what the kid can do....wtf are LSU coaches doing?!?! why is he now our signal caller???
now thats a football player
If only he would have visited Michigan. He is electric. My favorite player in this class.
If the O-line shapes up, this kid would be a nightmare to playcall against for a defensive ooordinator.
shepard and randle are gonna make magic. fla vs. lsu game is gonna be serious
For some reason this kid reminds me of Randall Cunningham.
One of my favorite QBs ever..
i agree with u a 100%
or baylor's quarterback robert griffin he is a up coming sophomore, he's a beast
Whats the first song called
I've heard it before and I love it
BTW
RS will kick ass
we will OWN!
GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!
True. With Jordan Jefferson as the starting QB, they could have at least gave Shepard a shot at QB.
Russell is also a great passer too
iv never seen such good blocks downfield by the WR's when hes running. But overall he looks pretty dam good, i havent seen him play much but from what i hear hes not the best when it comes to passing
I like the drum cadence at the end...GEAUX TIGERS!!!
Names on the jerseys in HS?
I'm jealous.
Jordache206 This is the funniest comment to look at in 202
2020*
he a wide reciever now
made millions in the nfl - but what could have been if he had been qb at LSU...
he did so good his sr year, this kid is going to be amazing in college
Now we got a new qb at ridge named darious crawley and a cold ass rb named rennie childs
Dude...Matt Barkley was the #1 rated pro style QB and Shepard never gave a verbal to UT. Mack Brown offered him as an athlete and not a quarterback.
I just hope that jersey number and potential for greatness are the only things this guy shares with Ryan Perilloux.
I wonder how he'd be under-center
The guy youre thinking of is kevin newsome not this kid. sheppard had been LSU right from the start
kevin newsome was the one that commited and then decommited and eventually landed in happy vally with JoePa
unless they have a dual QB situation like last year.
damn What song is this?
Russel is wayyy better than jordan jefferson. I remember watching this dude playing highschool cy-ridge. he is a beast
this guy should stay at quarterback!
its would suck if they converted him to WR
Damn it Les Miles. You wasted the most talented high school player in the country.
whats the song called
whats the name of the first song/beat
whats the first song called?
Wow!
I've never seen anyone like him??
he is going to be something special in college...wish my wolverines would have landed him
Troy smith anyone ??????
you guys have a pretty good math club this year too.
@jnsprop77 its a whole different game at the college level. he may excell at the highschool level in this vid, but he may not do as well in college. dont get me wrong hes a gud footbell player, just maybe not at the next level
Hold that Tiger! Remind em what night time at T.S. is about Shep.
@LSUNYYBUF Shep doesn't have college level accuracy. Even in the video he's throwing ducks to receivers who have to constantly break on the ball. And, yes Russell is very fast, but it looks even faster against highschool competition
how tall is he
uhh no, give me proof
at 0:31 look at that dude get decleated 10 feet off the grouund!!
he seems small.
IS HE DA NEXT VINCE YOUNG
yea i agree! they need to get a new starter qb. lee is the back up and hes better than jefferson!!!!!!!
hes a great runnner, but he needs to work on his passing game, half the time in the highllights, the coverage bites on a fake or somethin so he just lobs one up.
TRACK: ENNIO MORRICONE - L'ESTASE DELL ORO (BANDINI REMIX)
My brother is friends with russ.
cant beat falls though. Bryce too good
Thats The Next Michael Vick
Who is the receiver #14. Dude is awesome
Kevin Johnson, went to Oklahoma State but not sure how his college career panned out
To bad he had to play for Les Miles who never gave him a fair shot. He looks better throwing the ball as high school qb than Jordan Jefferson does as a senior college qb.
man, be a running back.
You ONLY run
Shepard never committed to Michigan, don't know where the hell you pulled that from
The guy at 0:06 should have jacked that guy up on the block. He totally whiffed.
he sold the fake perfecly at 1:19
it also doesnt help when we think we can run the ball. miles clearly has no confidence in his qb and sets him up for failure. we have the worst offense in the SEC, not my opinion, fact.
I ONLY HOPE TO GOD, THAT THEY GIVE HIM A SHOT TO PLAY QB. I HATE WHEN PEOPLE WANT TO SWITCH BLACK Qbs , POSITIONS, BECAUSE THERE FAST!
Prudent Student spoiler alert, they did not
lol wtf he never commited to michigan, he loved LSU from the start
Why are rantards pissing on this kid about his passing????
this dude got a arm too, hes nasty
He didnt even rank in accuracy on Rivals, just Scramble (running) and Dual Threat QB.
Didn't u see the guy running all those tds at the start of the vid? He's like barry sanders omg are u blind? He ran for 11 tds in 3 playoff games last year... Texas football games too..
@LSUNYYBUF...He doesnt have the size. if he was as tall and as stocky as jefferson he would most deffinetly be playing.
No wonder why he went to LSU now he is on THE EAGLE NATION
Sheppard was gonna go to texas. Until the boy from a austin h.s. committed. so he went to LSU
That dude never throws the ball! lol He's deff a good reciever or running back
