At Weddington High School in Matthews, N.C., Will Shipley was the big man on campus. He rushed for 4,173 yards on 503 carries (8.3 yards per rush) in his three-year high school career and scored 80 touchdowns.
Shipley also caught 84 passes and averaged 16.8 yards per reception. Off the field, he was one of the guys the young players looked up to, as he tried to set a good example.
However, those dynamics changed for Shipley once he enrolled at Clemson this past January. All of a sudden, the former 5-star running back was no longer the big man on campus.
