LSU has not said what the inquiry entailed.Shepard, a junior, was expected to start at wide receiver this season and participated in a scrimmage on Tuesday, after which coach Les Miles said he was one of the top performing receivers.He started nine games last season and had 253 yards and two touchdowns rushing and 254 yards and one touchdown receiving.

jgator21 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I believe there was also an issue with Sheppard and improper off campus housing going on as well. They are in some real trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
