"He was gone": Uiagalelei, Tiger players and coaches high on "dude" Will Shipley

CLEMSON – CJ Spiller doesn’t mince words when it comes to the running backs on the Clemson roster, and when he said last week that talented freshman Will Shipley reminds him of a young CJ Spiller, you have to listen.

Shipley is the former 5-star who was rated as the No. 1 all-purpose running back and No. 45 overall player in the nation by Rivals.com. He was the Gatorade Player of the Year in North Carolina and Charlotte Observer Player of the Year for 2019 and led his 2019 team to a 16-0 record and the state 3A title.
