Looking ahead: Shepard heads list of top '09 recruits | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
Quote:
No sooner had the dust started to settle from Wednesday's national signing day than talk of the top recruits for 2009 began. As the weather and conversation warm up, the name of Cypress Ridge quarterback Russell Shepard will be front and center.
The 6-4, 190-pound Shepard, who accounted for more than 2,000 yards of offense and produced 25 touchdowns last season, is the top player on Texasprepinsider.com's Top 25 for 2009 and already is drawing the interest of Texas, Texas A&M, Michigan and LSU.
"Why is Shepard No. 1? It's simple: He's an elite playmaker," said Alan Zepeda, the Southwest regional recruiting manager for Scout.com who helped compose the list. "He not only makes plays, but he also helps his teammates make plays. Russell has the all the intangibles you look for in a quarterback."
