472 yards and 6 TDs as a junior. He played with two senior WRs that both signed with PAC-12 schools.

The connection here is Anthony Tucker:

“Anthony Tucker is an assistant there and I’ve known him since I was a freshman,” Shepherd said. “He had a very big impact on me as a player and as a person. He got my priorities in order and is just a great man.

He seems to be a UCLA lean right now, but I do not think he decides anytime soon.

Not sure, but it would be a cool nickname.

Ute.

Good pickup for them.

Was really high on him of the remaining WR prospects that we were in on, but thought he was a Bruin all the way. I wonder if Ross possibly taking the final receiver slot prompted him to move on and commit to the Utes, or if he notified our staff of his intentions and that prompted us to accept a commit from Ross. In any event, it is a nice get for Utah.

Considering a visit to Cal. If he actually makes the visit, expect him to flip.
