 MONMOUTH, Ill. —
Monmouth College return specialist Matt Shepherd (Leesburg,
Fla./Leesburg) nearly tied a school record Saturday and was rewarded
with the Midwest Conference Special Team’s Performer of the Week
honor.
Shepherd returned the opening kick 99 yards en route to the Fighting
Scots’ 51-3 win over Beloit last Saturday. The sophomore’s long
return is second in Monmouth history only to Ray Brooks’ 100-yard
scamper against Carleton in 1951. The talented returner/receiver
netted 140 return yards on three kickoff returns and added another
23 yards on four pass receptions.
Through three games Shepherd is averaging more than 32 yards on
kickoff returns and more than 15 yards on punt returns for the
Scots.
