Will Sheppard is a wide receiver for the Vanderbilt Commodores who has had an outstanding career in the SEC East. 

This season, Sheppard had 47 receptions for 684 yards and eight touchdowns. 

Vanderbilt dealt with banged-up quarterbacks all season, but still, with the QB carousel, Sheppard managed to have a solid season. 

Sheppard put his name in the transfer portal early this morning, and Hugh Freeze was quick to get on the phone and reach out as he posted that Auburn offered just a few minutes ago. 

While Vandy isn't a great football team, Sheppard is a really good player that could work his way into the NFL with a good 2024 season. 

Auburn has been a school associated with Sheppard, and man would this be a good get for Coach Freeze. 

He will likely be pursued by multiple schools all over the country, so Auburn needs to get in and make a big impression quickly. 

Sheppard would be the perfect player to help mentor the young 2024 wide receivers who will be on the Plains next season. 

Auburn fans need to bookmark the name Will Sheppard because if Auburn leads him, he could be the team's leading receiver next season.
