5-star Shipley spending time wisely amid coronavirus pandemic

Matthews (N.C.) Weddington five-star running back Will Shipley has a lot of free time right now, like other high school students in his state and others nationally with many schools across the country shutting down in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Public schools in the state of North Carolina were ordered to close through March 27, so Shipley doesn’t have school for at least the next week. Meanwhile, the nation’s top-ranked all-purpose back and priority Clemson target cannot make any college visits right now as the NCAA has suspended all in-person recruiting until April 15.

While Shipley is having a little fun during his down time, playing video games with his brother who is home from college, he is also taking advantage of the extra time he has on his hands to prepare for his senior football season.
