Clemson freshman earns superlative from ESPN

ESPN handed out superlatives for college football’s 2021 recruiting class, and a talented Clemson freshman running back earned one of the superlatives from the four-letter network.

In this ESPN+ article, ESPN staff writer Craig Haubert recognized the Tigers’ Will Shipley as the “most well-rounded” running back in this year’s freshman class.

“The No. 2-ranked RB in the 2021 class, Shipley is a dangerous weapon with his versatility to attack defenses in multiple ways,” Haubert wrote. “As a ball carrier, he has excellent speed (4.53 laser-to-laser 40) as well as quick feet to hit holes, elude defenders and finish when he gets into the open field.
