Washington State wide receiver DT Sheffield has announced his departure from the program. Sheffield, a junior, has been a key contributor for the Cougars over the last two seasons.
In his two years with the program, Sheffield had a total of 1,836 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns. He was a big part of the Cougars’ success, as he was a reliable target for quarterback Anthony Gordon. Sheffield was also a leader on and off the field, and was a key part of the team’s culture.
The news of Sheffield’s departure comes as a surprise to many, as he had just recently signed a contract extension with the team. However, Sheffield has decided to pursue other opportunities and will not be returning to the Cougars next season.
It is unclear what Sheffield’s next move will be, but it is likely that he will look to continue his football career elsewhere. Sheffield has been an important part of the Cougars’ program over the last two years and his presence will certainly be missed.
The Cougars will now have to look for another wide receiver to fill the void left by Sheffield’s departure. It will be interesting to see who they bring in to replace him, and how they adjust their offense without him.
It is always sad to see a player leave a program, but it is understandable why Sheffield has decided to move on. He has been an important part of the Cougars’ success over the last two years and his presence will certainly be missed. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
