This week, College Sports Wire’s Patrick Conn named his top breakout candidate for each Big 12 football team. He selected wide receiver Will Sheppard as the standout choice for the Colorado Buffaloes. As a result of his outstanding performance over the past four years with the Vanderbilt Commodores, Sheppard’s selection is well-deserved.
Sheppard has been praised for his impressive statistics despite playing for a team that is not known for offensive prowess. In just two seasons, he caught 107 passes for 1,460 yards and 17 touchdowns. With Sanders now delivering the passes, Sheppard has the opportunity to take his game to the next level in the 2024 season.
As an expert in college football, Conn highlighted Sheppard’s potential impact on Colorado’s offense. He noted that Sheppard has all of the tools necessary to be a top-tier wide receiver in a pass-heavy offense led by Sanders. It will be exciting to see how he transitions to the Buffaloes and maximizes his potential with Sanders at quarterback.
