Colorado earns commitment from former All-SEC wide receiver

The pieces are coming together for Colorado’s offense to be very, very strong next season. Head coach Deion Sanders has already put plenty of work into fixing his O-line and on Thursday, the Buffs earned a commitment from four-star transfer portal wide receiver Will Sheppard.

This past year at Vanderbilt, Sheppard led the Commodores with 684 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. In 2022, the 6-foot-3, 198-pound Sheppard racked up 776 receiving yards and was named second-team All-SEC.

Sheppard is the second transfer WR to join the Buffs this offseason. North Carolina State defector Terrell Timmons Jr. was the first.

As you’d expect, people were excited about Sheppard’s commitment to Coach Prime’s Buffs:

As a mom, I couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter in your journey! You deserve the best and Colorado is about to get the best! SkoBuffs! https://t.co/bCqwtL2Rnn

This is so amazing coming from a Nebraska fan.

If Will Sheppard puts up equal numbers to his average over the last three seasons this year, he’ll finish with more career receiving yards and touchdowns than Nebraska’s all-time leaders in program history in both categories 😂 https://t.co/W9s7KPXEco
