[1] Sheffey enrolled at West Virginia University in January 2002, where he began his football career in 2003 as a freshman.
He recorded a team-high four knockdowns against East Carolina though, and saw increased playing time at left guard in the second half of the game against Cincinnati.
He played in every game that season, blocking for quarterback Rasheed Marshall and running back Kay-Jay Harris.
As a junior in 2005, Sheffey headed an offensive line along with future All-American Dan Mozes (who started the season at guard, but moved to center).
Blocking for All-American running back Steve Slaton and All-Big East quarterback Pat White, he made the list for the Outland Trophy (nation's best lineman) and earned All-Big East honors for the second consecutive year.
[2] On Wednesday February 13, 2008, Sheffey signed with the New York Dragons of the Arena Football League.
