Sterling Shepard just received a national championship ring.

Not from this season, but from his father's team, which won the 1985 title at Oklahoma.

Derrick Shepard died in 1999 and was a receiver on the title team that beat Penn State in the Orange Bowl.

Sterling Shepard is a receiver on this season's Oklahoma team that is playing in the national semifinals on Dec. 31. Cheri Shepard, Sterling's mother, presented Sterling the ring last week when Sterling graduated.
