JaMarcus Shephard’s Career Earnings

Shephard began college football coaching as a volunteer for Western Kentucky in 2013. By 2014, he’d been promoted to WR coach. He also became special teams coach for the Hilltoppers in 2015. Shephard earned a total of $134,000 over his last two seasons at Western Kentucky.

In 2016, Washington State came calling, despite being offered a promotion to OC at Western Kentucky. Under Mike Leach, Shephard worked as a WR for just one season, for which he received $226,500. The now HC then began a long stint at Purdue, as WR coach in 2017, and won the Foster Farms Bowl.

In 2018, he moved up the ranks to be co-OC for the Boilermakers. At Purdue, Shephard developed star WRs David Bell and Rondale Moore. As a freshman, Moore led the FBS D1 with 114 catches, for 1258 yards and 12 TDs. In 2021, Shephard’s contribution helped Purdue finish 5 in passing offense in the country. He left Purdue after the season, with total earnings of $1.9 million.

JaMarcus Shephard came to Washington, where he was acquainted with Kalen DeBoer. And he got to work right away, building a WR room that was among the best in the country. In 2023, the Husky passing offense finished second nationally, averaging 343.7 yards per game. There was no stopping the Washington offense that season, which went on to the National Championship.

Shephard continued to churn out great receivers here, developing Rome Odunze, Ja’Lynn Polk and Jalen McMillan. They were selected in the 1, 2, and 3 rounds, respectively, in the 2024 draft. JaMarcus Shephard had now become one of the most prolific OCs in the business. It also made him a great fit for a position at Alabama, which was going to be led by DeBoer in 2024. Shephard earned a total of $1.4 million.

Alabama was a challenge for Shephard, who was inheriting a blueblood going through a major overhaul. The Tide finished at a safe 9-4 in 2024, but the coach had already put out some solid talents to watch out for. JaMarcus Shephard has developed Ryan Williams and Germie Bernard to the level that they are on today. His WR unit has also helped Alabama stay in the Top 10 nationally in passing offense, hauling in 292.5 yards per game. Shephard earned $1.1 million for the 2024 season.

After 11 years of being an assistant, JaMarcus Shephard got an opportunity to run the show. He’s already shown what he is capable of, having built powerful offenses consistently. Oregon State needs a serious rebuild under Shephard, who will pick up after Trent Bray.
