Jacoby Shepherd and the Argos Join Forces!!!

The Utah Argos are pleased to announce the signing of Jacoby Shepherd. "Shep" as his teammates so affectionately call him patrolling the secondary opposing teams are going to have to keep their head on a swivel at all times.

Shepherd played his college ball at Tyler Community College in Tyler, Texas where he transferred to Oklahoma State University during his junior year in 1998.

In 2000 Shepherd was drafted by the St. Louis Rams in the second round of the NFL Draft. As a rookie he played in 15 games. During the 2001 season Jacoby was hampered by a hamstring injury.
