It’s funny how things work out.
Will Shipley is a native of North Carolina and starred at Weddington High School in Weddington, N.C. Both of his parents went to NC State, as did many other family members.
This Saturday, the Clemson freshman running back will get his first college start against the school his family has ties to, when the ninth-ranked Tigers travel to take on the Wolfpack at 3:30 p.m. in Raleigh, N.C.
“That’s kind of cool how it worked out,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said during his post-practice media availability via Zoom on Wednesday evening.
