Duke's Sheppard named midseason All-American as quarterback issue looms

Duke's Nate Sheppard has been recognized as a midseason All-American running back, leading the nation in rushing yards per game. Had former quarterback Darian Mensah remained, he too would have made the All-American list; however, Mensah has since transferred to Miami and has excelled there. As the season progresses, Duke's Blue Devils are set to face the Hurricanes on November 14. Sheppard's performance has been crucial as new quarterback Walker Eget adjusts to the starting role.
