2015 Gulliver (Fla.) linebacker Dominic Sheppard is considered one of the top linebacker in south Florida for his class. He played a pivotal role in helping his teams defense last year.
“I felt like I did good; I had a minor wrist injury, but that didn’t hold me back because I felt like I did a good job. I switched from defensive end from my tenth grade year and now I’m playing middle linebacker.”
Sheppard racked up 93 tackles last season along with one interception return for a touchdown. Despite the impressive stat line, Sheppard is still looking to improve upon his game and get better this offseason.
“I want to improve on reading plays, like diagnosing the play before it happens. I might just run track or I might join the Florida Fire South team.”
The 6’2 200 pound middle linebacker has been receiving college interest from schools dating back to his freshman year. While schools from all over the nation are contacting Sheppard, he claims to have no leaders.
“I don’t have a list of who I like the most right now, but I have Alabama, Louisville, I have Miami, Ohio State, Clemson, Tennessee and some other schools I really can’t think of right now.”
The Gulliver product spoke a little bit about the Crimson Tide and how they fit in to his recruiting picture.
“Alabama is recruiting me the hardest, coach (Mario) Cristobal came to my school over four times to see me. I like about it because of the nice facilities and they produce linebackers like Donta Hightower and CJ Mosley.”
The hometown Hurricanes are also recruiting the 2015 prospect as well and he is intrigued by the number of talented athletes on the Miami team.
“You can tell who who the playmakers are and they get them better. They carry their linebackers like the heart of their team, like Denzel Perryman. I look at him a lot and I compare my stats to him sometimes.”
The highly recruited south florida linebacker is being recruited by both Al Golden and Michael Barrow and elaborated on the type of person the head coach is.
“Coach Golden is a great guy, I haven’t talked to him lately this year ,but from my experience last year he’s a great guy. I most likely talk with Michael Barrow this year and we talk about linebacker scheme’s and the program.”
Sheppard is planning to see some schools during the summer including Oregon, LSU and Florida State.
As far as when a decision will be made, the tentative date is set for following Sheppard’s season.
What will it take to land the second team All-Dade linebacker?
“Playing time, I want to see if they can get me better and whats going to be my future and like where I’m going to be in 4 years and the environment.”
