CLEMSON – Will Shipley’s meteoric rise up Clemson’s depth chart might be considered unreal for a true freshman, but unreal also describes Shipley’s feelings about his collegiate debut.
Shipley, the former 5-star out of Matthews (NC) Weddington, saw the first action of his college career early in Clemson’s 10-3 loss to Georgia at Bank of America Stadium Saturday night. Shipley played in front of a bevy of friends and family and rushed four times for seven yards and caught one pass for 11 yards.
“It was unreal for me. Going back to Charlotte and playing a top-5 matchup for my first college game, really my first football game in almost two years,” Shipley said Tuesday.
