Russell Shepard - High school 2008 (Senior yr)

[713swaggking]

Russell is also a great passer too

[713swaggking]

Russel is wayyy better than jordan jefferson. I remember watching this dude playing highschool cy-ridge. he is a beast

[TheJavier10023]

Man, Hopper middle school molded this nigga. Show some respect bitch.

[ctiger69]

To bad he had to play for Les Miles who never gave him a fair shot. He looks better throwing the ball as high school qb than Jordan Jefferson does as a senior college qb.

TRACK: ENNIO MORRICONE - L'ESTASE DELL ORO (BANDINI REMIX)

[pab1888]

Song is l'estasi dell'oro ennio morricone remix

[Hendrixking14]

My high school, Cy Creek, beat him that year and his Rams. We stormed the field. it was awesome.

[sparkafattytoo]

Mr 93K as he calls himself has been up to this point OVER RATED

[Youngjsmith]

he a wide reciever now

[LeaheyAZ]

whats the song called

[jaxxbocks]

He was QB at Ridge after I graduated, but went to a game when he was there and he was a good 20% faster than everyone else on the field. Not an LSU fan, but would love to see them use him more. Shep on screens would be ridiculous.

[throwingH0R535]

whats the first song called?

[Jordan1134able]

@BallaC0018 bro when i hit the pros and u at work still watchin youtube videos dont say nothin

[jordan2014able]

MAN I GO TO RIDGE AND I LOOK UP TO DIS MAN. IMA BE JUST LIKE HIM IF NOT BETTER WHEN I HIT VARSITY

[BallaC0018]

@jordan2014able be yourself dickrider you dont have the talent to do it

[jnsprop77]

Why is not not our q.b. ?

[djlilcrispy]

@jnsprop77 its a whole different game at the college level. he may excell at the highschool level in this vid, but he may not do as well in college. dont get me wrong hes a gud footbell player, just maybe not at the next level

[will13147]

Thats The Next Michael Vick

[logannhoex]

Didd yall See That Blockk

[futurevol94]

pause at :36 and look at all the blue jerseys trying to get him ahahha

[theshowbiz5]

that boyy russ..from my skoo..cypress ridge

[turtleowens09]

this is like a chris johnson with an arm

[Rmrichards1385]

I was looking for russell shepard passing ability bc as an LSU fan IVE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE and this showed me what the kid can do....wtf are LSU coaches doing?!?! why is he now our signal caller???

[garf1eld029]

@Rmrichards1385

He's a WR, but they have him do everything EXCEPT throw. Which I think he SHOULD do, JF, and JJ both suck we need a real QB. We have outstanding WR's, HB, MLB, FS, and all that just no QB.

[Kinch1965]

Heck, he looks more polished as a high school QB than LSU's current starting QB, JJ.

[THEmptySoul]

I go to his highschool :).

[noslack1964]

that guy is a serious dual threat at QB

[DVondabestvoice]

at 0:31 look at that dude get decleated 10 feet off the grouund!!

[swderek]

I wonder how he'd be under-center

[swderek]

This video shows none of his passing talent.......

[CWeezy1122]

@swderek watch the rest of the vid

[kicks4ev]

yea i agree! they need to get a new starter qb. lee is the back up and hes better than jefferson!!!!!!!

[ukman20]

The next vick...?

[geauxtigers16]

now thats a football player

[cal31BRIAN23]

I ONLY HOPE TO GOD, THAT THEY GIVE HIM A SHOT TO PLAY QB. I HATE WHEN PEOPLE WANT TO SWITCH BLACK Qbs , POSITIONS, BECAUSE THERE FAST!

[Tigaahbait10]

@cal31BRIAN23 Dude thats always what i say it pisses me off too! JEFFERSON SUCKS SHEPARD HAD THE BALL LIKE 18 TIMES AND SCORED LIKE 3 TD'S AND HE DIDNT EVEN GET TO THROW ONE TIM!

[JR66108]

he isn't starting is he?

[sippingwhisky]

does he ever throw the ball?

[auburntigersfan9]

@sippingwhisky watch the whole vid....

[isen7snoboshred]

some dude actually gets sent flying at 0:31

[awill88112]

@isen7snoboshred: What a block!

[kyledaboyd3]

damn What song is this?

[TenTonTiger]

I apologize for use of the word "song". "Theatrical score" probably wouldn't have gotten any synapses firing in this thread. It was a matter of phraseology for the audience's sake.

[TenTonTiger]

IT'S NOT A SONG!!! It is part of the theatrical composition put together by Ennio Morricone as I stated below. Go buy the soundtrack.

[AznPersuasion619]

this dude got a arm too, hes nasty

[motherlode23]

#26's jock strap is still on the ground at 5:08

[manocool09]

man, be a running back.

You ONLY run

[danxscarltonxaway]

look at that hit at 0:05 seconds

[RearAdmirel]

That dude never throws the ball! lol He's deff a good reciever or running back

[GMBlegend]

What the hell were you looking at bro!? Half of this video is him passing the ball.

[BallaC0018]

@RearAdmirel i go to ridge..its bc our offense rarely throws the ball..lots of option, up the gut, and other runs..we just dont pass much

[LSUNYYBUF]

wow he has amazing speed. I don't see why LSU won't put him in. I'm sure he's better than Jefferson.

[LSUalumni01]

@LSUNYYBUF Dude I know. Where you live at?

[zenekd]

@LSUNYYBUF yea hes great speed high school collage ppl can keep up with him and when aol u got speed

[Bioready]

@LSUNYYBUF It's pretty obvious the coaching staff doesn't know how to utilize talent properly.

[craigk0406]

@LSUNYYBUF Shep doesn't have college level accuracy. Even in the video he's throwing ducks to receivers who have to constantly break on the ball. And, yes Russell is very fast, but it looks even faster against highschool competition

[McHenryFootball17]

@LSUNYYBUF...He doesnt have the size. if he was as tall and as stocky as jefferson he would most deffinetly be playing.

[DoinWurk704]

i can imagine this guy has def. cor. up all night

[cabigden]

This dude is dang awsome!

[soccerlover1598]

The guy at 0:06 should have jacked that guy up on the block. He totally whiffed.

[Dmlax1000001]

lol i would recruit him as a filltime wildcat qb..too many running highlights and a solid few minutes of passing highlights were all in the cy-ridge cy-falls game and a few others

[JPlata1]

what is the name of that song I like it, and by the way russell shepard grew up and went to high school next to where I live. So what is the name of that song?

[TenTonTiger]

The song is from one of the Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns of the late 1960's starring Clint Eastwood. Specifically, (I think) the film "For a Few Dollars More". Ennio Morricone was the composer for the film's soundtrack. You could probably buy it online. Search Amazon or something.

Sorta' funny that none of you kids knew this and that no one answered it from the fourth post of almost a year ago.

For the record, ALL OF THE SONGS on ALL of the Sergio Leone westerns are awesome.

[flapjack9999]

LEstasi DellOro (Bandini Remix)

[kvncldrn]

got damn this guys got a good offensive line. he gets alot of time to throw the ball.

[doughboi09]

i appreciate the compliment... i was the starting center #62 for the '08 season and im only 5'10 180 lbs!

[kvncldrn]

haha thats funny. my buddy was also starting center this past season n he also weighs 180 x]. but hes a bit shorter. like 1 inch or so idk. but yeah good blocking on ur part man, keep it up =]

[Tigerboiromie]

and if not play him at least redshirt him to not waste a year of eligibility where he doesnt even play

[Tigerboiromie]

1. Les Miles doesnt call the plays.

2. Jordan Jefferson isnt ready. He showed that agaisnt Florida when he was holding the ball for 7 seconds standing in the pocket.

3. Everyone is blaming the OL which isnt their fault its Jefferson's for holding the ball.

4. Mauck and Flynn had NFL potential receivers like Buster Davis and Dwayne Bowe. Not to mention a top 5 defense.

5. I dont understand how we have the number 1 ranked player in the last recruiting class and he doesnt play to a mediocre qb

[yashack1]

it also doesnt help when we think we can run the ball. miles clearly has no confidence in his qb and sets him up for failure. we have the worst offense in the SEC, not my opinion, fact.

[pimpdaddy116]

i agree with u a 100%

[yashack1]

i wish this trend of non quarterback qb's would go away. we have no offense because we dont have a true passer and we surely dont have game management. when we had guys like flynn or mauck, no where near as athletic but way better at the position and it showed. when has jefferson ever made a designed pass down the field on a line? never. any deep balls or relatively deep completions have yet to be by design...just scrambling and reacting. also, 5-7 seconds in the pocket??? c'mon=SACK(S)

[jeffreylsu]

Wait until he starts at QB once he gets some experience in a couple of years.

Heisman-easy.

[DopeMC209]

What kinda QB single handedly scores touchdowns on each play?

This is madness...

[DocterK21]

I take it back. He can throw.

[DocterK21]

I'm not even sure this guy can throw the ball. But my lord, did anyone see the block at about 0:33?

[mguidry87]

haha i was bout to post that he flew in the air

[bzrkur]

next jordan jefferson? maybe better only time could tell

[jzseymour]

He's gonna be better than Jefferson, I know it. But I'm not taking any thing from Jordan at all, he's a real deal quarterback

[bzrkur]

yeah i know hes faster aND more quick and elusive than jeferson but idk if he can pass thats the thing?

[SPARTANB174]

i am proud to be at Cy-Ridge, even tho hes gone lol

[Hookem1984]

Riding the bench in Baton Rouge... soon to be a back-up slot receiver.

Nice.

[LSUROX124]

He's a true freshman he'll get his turn

[auburntigersfan9]

ur fuckin dumb cause hes not playin reciever and hes more of an athlete than you will ever be

[auburntigersfan9]

i played against this kid last year and we spent all week scouting just for him and he still ran for like 250 yards against us

[zoomtre13]

whats the song

[jpl7777]

I had no idea he was this good of a passer... phenomenal.

[guit318]

as the great Jon Gruden would put it.. Russell Shepard is REDONKULAS

[theDrumkilla]

Why are rantards pissing on this kid about his passing????

[tmac20031]

I just don't see anything wrong with this kid except for his size. I hate to say it, but if he gets a little bigger, LSU is going to be a force to reckon with. It kills me that they got someone this good. He plays like Vick, but it looks like his passing is far superior as far as precision.

[WarriorUSMC99]

I hear the Tigers are putting in a wildcat formation for this kid. He'll be a great wildcat QB but not full time at QB because Jordan Jefferson got it locked.

[futurevol94]

what a blocke at :33.

[saintsfan92687]

His vision is outstanding. The way he sets up his blocks is incredible. This kid is going to be special. He may not be a solid QB in the SEC, but he will be feared by all the SEC teams.

[tddraper52]

shepard and randle are gonna make magic. fla vs. lsu game is gonna be serious

[bballer19902012]

i think Denard Robinson is better but they both will be near impossible to stop in the open field

[jrameea]

how tall is he

[tmacandyming1]

Whats the first beat called?

[sbranson12]

sick block at 0:33

[Brookfootball]

He's one of those players that makes you freeze for a split second before he makes his move

[pjhtiger44]

i like his ability to find the open referee post touchdown

[JenkBigQ]

man, i play defensive end...I would absolutely HATE to have to play against a guy like this. Put our qbs to shame... also i played against another LSU commitment last year(Drayton Calhoun). They whooped our but, but he is likely to get redshirted he plays running back i believe

[flapjack9999]

He is so elusive and scrambles so well, he is often down the field before the Defense even knows what's going on; otherwise, there are examples of him facing pressure while in the pocket: 03,:27, 2:22, 2:56, 3:04, 4:02, 4:12, 4:36, 5:20, 5:28, 5:35, 5:45, 5:56, 6:04, 6:18, 6:38, 6:45, 7:25, and 7:37. He reacts from the pressure by running, scrambling, throwing, etc..

[S0c0J0e]

he's playing the wrong position, great athlete, not so much of a qb, i'd like to see what he does with pressure in his face

[flapjack9999]

huh?? There's plenty examples in this video of him facing pressure.

[S0c0J0e]

pocket pressure, when he does step back to throw there is no one in his face or putting pressure on him in the vids, maybe 1 or 2 times but not hardly. guess will have to see what he does it LSU, if I remember

[saintgo]

welcome to LSU Russell Shepard. And geaux tigers

[Houbengal]

For the guy who said "sick fumble" at the 5:10 mark...you're wrong..that wasnt a fumble. You're seeing the defender's foot swing around..which looks like the ball coming out. Go slow it down.

[MrZunigaluis]

CY-RIDGE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIM

[thabus57]

wr # 14 seems to be his favorite target

[bballer19902012]

bad quarterback

great playmaker

[bordelon1111]

he seems small.

[TempleWildcats0and10]

What school is this kid from...Texas i know...but he's playing in WISD, Kyle Field

[auburntigersfan9]

hes from cy ridge thats in cfisd

[SPARTANB174]

yea Cy Ridge in CFISD in Houston,Texas, Northwest area. :)

[doughboi09]

cypress ridge, we played at that field against copperas cove in the 3rd round of the playoffs

[macluca1]

This video is awesome. I actually watched the entire thing (normally find highlight videos boring). Incredible athelete.

[flapjack9999]

Nice music accomp.

[flapjack9999]

It's like watching Percy Harvin play QB.

[lsudolemite]

If the O-line shapes up, this kid would be a nightmare to playcall against for a defensive ooordinator.

[kjm51495]

Russell is amazing he played in my district gonna tear it up at lsu hopefully he can pass better becuz he really runss to much should put him in a wildcat

[Thomasmershon]

Much better than Pryor. =)

[philLSU]

This guy is going to thrill the college football world!  Tear it up in the SEC Russell!!!

[6packmaniak]

sick FUMBLE at 5:10

[geauxtigers256]

your an idiot. that wasnt a fumble. look at it again, and if you still cant tell go type in russell shepard cy ridge vs cy falls. it has all of his plays from that game and at :40 it's the same play and guess what...no fumble

[xJaYxThExKiDx]

good ass video my dude.

[ImKiNdaABIgDeAL69]

cougar, u is so ignorant mayne. u jus on heere to make fun of ppl not even 2 watch videos

[joinerSUjagsbluengol]

@ImKiNdaABIgDeAL69 the statement " u is so ignorant mayne" = fail

[footballismylive21]

5:07 dangg #26 should quit football lolz

[deucebrees]

Shepard is gonna be off the hook with LSU

[ImKiNdaABIgDeAL69]

i aint nigerian mayne stfu. all u crackers tellin me shit bout my speling need 2 fuck yoselfs n not make fun of ppl who wasnt as privliged as yall growing up its disrespctfull mayne. n change yo name yonigga i kno u aint black mayne

[sedro32]

for all the people who say he cant throw must be fucking blind..umm he has like 50 pro like throws just in this video

[FSUfrenzy911]

He enrolled early, right?

[LSUFred]

yes, he started for one of the teams in the Spring Game

[brandon5isbeast5]

well djones who is ranked higher on everything rivals tackle everything thts what i thought russell

[DJONES6734]

ALL he can do is throw the ball. If he could throw the ball he would be a great QB. Tyrik Rollison more of a threat than this guy.

[xanderludwig]

Didn't u see the guy running all those tds at the start of the vid? He's like barry sanders omg are u blind? He ran for 11 tds in 3 playoff games last year... Texas football games too..

[DJONES6734]

yeah, hes a running back that can throw.. not a QB that can run. If he's the #1 QB in the nation cause he can run than thats a damn disgrace to the position.

[xanderludwig]

The boy has an incredible arm, incredible fast release and accuracy, he just needs a little more power. Even if he couldn't run the football he'd still be an amazing QB. But yeah lets just wait and see what happens at LSU =)

[DJONES6734]

He didnt even rank in accuracy on Rivals, just Scramble (running) and Dual Threat QB.

[713to281connec]

And they say Texas dn't produce the best atheletes,lol

[sedro32]

HAHA OK....leave the athletes part to louisiana..only reason texas is soo "awesome" in football is because they are a bunch of popularity makers...just because u get 20, 000 ppl in a stadium dosnt mean "better FOOTBALL...oh and too bad your boy shepard ditched texas and is coming to the LSU TIGERS!

[713to281connec]

First off yeah you right Texas football is way more popular then your states football, and last time i checked we produce more NFL atheletes than ya'll. As a matter of fact I don't even think you guys are ranked in the top 10 when it comes to that category. So congrats on finally producing a couple of atheletes that found there way onto the top prospect list this year, and enjoy it cause chances it wont happen again for a long time.

[jjharrin]

Might be the best high school quarterback i've ever seen!!!

[Kelon713]

IS HE DA NEXT VINCE YOUNG

[Billygizzle08]

Nope... leave that to Terrelle Pryor.

[Kelon713]

or baylor's quarterback robert griffin he is a up coming sophomore, he's a beast

[Billygizzle08]

He's good, but doesn't have the physical attributes as Young and Pryor...

[Kelon713]

DIS NIGGA IS A BEAST HANDS DOWN

[LSUFred]

Were the teams he played in the playoffs slow too when he ran for 835 yards and 11 TDs in THREE games? Was the state semi-final Copperas Cove defense slow too? He only put up 538 yards of total offense and 6 TDs in that game. McGuffie couldn't hold Shepard's jock. GTFO w/ that bullshit.

[SoFaKenGr8]

@LSUFred so how did that work out for u

[SoFaKenGr8]

the district russell play in is slow thats why he looks so elusive, and his speed is 88 on NCAA, look up sam mcguffie. i should know ive played in the distict, referred the district over a 100 times seen him play at least ten times. not hatin kinda pullin for him

[Checkmateking22]

Shit, your just hatin cause our boy is a Tiger now!!! Everyone else is just TIGER BAIT BITCHES

[Callmebetty123]

slow?  don't be re re

[yonigga100]

omg ur so retarded u dont even no how to spell retard poor thing

[alexjr28]

I can't believe they gave him only an 88 speed rating in NCAA 2010. Dude should atleast be a 90.

[xanderludwig]

Lol.. He runs the 40 in 4.4 flat.. Shit.. Most RBs in the pros don't run that fast

[FutureTiger79]

Guy is like Pat White except he is more elusive,has a better arm, and is faster

Can't wait to see him in action this fall!

[sportssuperfan]

name of the first song

[Checkmateking22]

it is from for a fistful of dollars soundtrack, all of these songs are from either a fistful of dollars or few dollars more

[Vanhalen1127]

its a reggie bush that can throw a football and that he is going to LSU!!!!!  Something feels good about the upcoming classes including michael ford who lives right next to me!!!!!!

[toolnv77]

Sheppard was gonna go to texas. Until the boy from a austin h.s. committed. so he went to LSU

[captainsimplejack21]

whats the name of the first song????

[jwhitt3]

Numba1punta...... You are dead wrong. Shep was never committed to Texas, fact.

[LSUFred]

Shepard made only one commitment, to LSU. He never committed to texas or anyone else.

[numba1punta]

oh and actually at FIRST russell shepard was a verbal commit to texas, BUT once the nations best pro style QB commited(another born and bred texan) he decided to go wit LSU, its closer to his home in houston anyways..it wouldve been crazy to see what texas wouldve done wit the #1 dual threat AND pro style QB in one class...

[alexjr28]

Dude...Matt Barkley was the #1 rated pro style QB and Shepard never gave a verbal to UT. Mack Brown offered him as an athlete and not a quarterback.

[numba1punta]

the first 2 and a half minutes are nothing but him running around, but if u keep watchin, itll show u why he ll be one of the next GREAT college QBs....

[yonigga100]

Sweet Let's not know how to throw and be a QB

[Durty3rdLiLWiLL]

RAMS IN THE HOUSE!'

BAD NEWS!!

[yonigga100]

OMG what a pussy its just that hes running from all those tacklers and it like just take the hit pussy.

[cougarqbfk10]

"yonigga100" the point of this here great sport is to avoid the tackles. this "pussy" just happens to be the number 1 rated dual threat qb in texas for the class of '69. oh fuck i mean '09.

[ImKiNdaABIgDeAL69]

do u evn whatch football mayne??? he aint suposed 2 run 2 tacklers he suposed 2 avoid dem u shuldnt b talking if it dont make sence iight mayne n change yo name i no u aint black so don b tryin 2 play dat shit

[cougarqbfk10]

holy fuck calm your shit. yonigga knows way more about football than you hes just stating that russell shepard is a pussy cause hes juking like a pussy instead of inflicting the pain on the "tacklers". and learn how to fuckin spell
