According to ProFootballTalk, former Ole Miss cornerback Tee Shepard is eligible for the supplemental draft.

Last October, Shepard left the team after playing in the first five games to start the season in a reserve role. He missed the 2014 season with a torn toe tendon.

“While we had hoped Tee would continue playing, he has chosen to conclude his career and focus on finishing his degree here at Ole Miss,” Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said in a statement last October. “We respect his decision and wish him the very best. He will always be a part of our family, and we hope he continues to use his platform to impact others.”

Shepard was a top prospect exiting high school before signing with Notre Dame; however, he was unable to enroll for academic reasons. He spent two years at Northeast Mississippi Community College before playing for the Rebels.

“The injuries and challenges I have overcome the last few years have taken away my love for playing the game of football,” Shepard said in a statement last October. “I want to thank Rebel Nation for the support they have shown me in my time here. I want to especially thank Coach Freeze for showing me what unconditional love is like. I will always love this team and cheer them on as they compete for a championship. I look forward to completing my degree from Ole Miss and beginning the next phase of my life.”

It was reported in January that Shepard would be transferring to Miami (Ohio).
