An alert for high school football fans: get your 2008 Cy Ridge season tickets early, because the Rams will be showcasing the top football recruit in the entire state of Texas this coming Fall.

His name is Russell Shepard, and he plays quarterback. He runs through tackles like a gazelle, and led Cy Ridge to their first ever unbeaten, outright district 17-5A title in 2007. But he has bigger and better plans.

In the recruiting world, it’s no secret. Shepard is the area’s most coveted prospect. After he received close to 50 Division I scholarship offers, he ended all speculation last week by announcing his plans to attend LSU, as soon as he graduates early from Cy Ridge in December.

A second cousin of former Heisman trophy winner and Tennessee Titans running back Eddie George, Shepard’s off-season regimen has him trying to improve his passing skills by working out on weekends with former NFL quarterback Jeff Blake.

I sat down with the future Bayou Bengal to discuss all things Shepard, hoping to find out what kind of internal makeup goes with his incredible athletic talent.

What have the last few months been like, being the most sought after football player in Texas?

It has been both a positive and a bit of a negative. It has given our school and our program some great exposure, and has helped the Cy-Fair community get some recognition, but I think there will be a target on my back going into next season, because everyone will want a piece of me and our team. But overall, it has been an honor and a blessing.

What was the deciding factor that made you choose LSU?

I wanted to get the recruiting process over with in order to stop all the hype. When LSU said that they want me to be their quarterback, and come in and compete for their starting position early, that did it for me. I feel like I can go there and play throughout my career, and the SEC is such a great conference.

What were some of your other top choices?

Actually LSU didn’t even entire the picture until late. Texas, USC, Michigan and Florida were on my radar, but when coach Thiebaud told me that I had a chance to play at LSU early in my career and not have to wait behind other players, like I might at those other programs, that is what excited me the most. Plus, they are always going to be in the national title picture, and playing in big games.

How has your relationship with coach Les Miles been so far?

When I called him and told him that I’m committing to his program, he didn’t believe me. I had to get my dad on the phone to convince him. He was so excited. He is a great man with a very nice family, and I don’t see him going anywhere.

He told me that they won’t be bringing in very many other quarterbacks.
