Southern Miss' McKinely West won the event with a time of 6.64 seconds.
Sheffield is coming off his first season with the Ohio State football team after one-year stops at Alabama and Blinn College. Sheffield played 626 snaps, including all but one snap in the season-ending Cotton Bowl, while recording 40 total tackles, nine pass breakups and one forced fumble in his first season as a Buckeye.
Sheffield, whose debut on the track proves he does not lack speed, will enter this spring as one of the team's top returning cornerbacks and a projected starter, along with Damon Arnette.
