Tariq Sheperd, a talented point guard for SPIRE, has just announced his commitment to LeMoyne-Owen College after being offered a full basketball scholarship. From jump shots to layups, Sheperd is able to consistently sink shots no matter how far away the hoop is. Combining this accuracy with quick feet and the ability to read his opponents, he is a force to be reckoned with on the court.

LeMoyne-Owen, a historically black college located in Memphis, Tennessee, is a smaller school that allows students and athletes to focus on their development in a “home away from home” atmosphere. If his time at SPIRE is any indication, the addition of Tariq Sheperd to their basketball team will prove to be a huge boost for their sports program.
