Clemson’s starting tailback, Will Shipley, finds himself in concussion protocol following a forceful helmet-to-helmet collision during a recent match against North Carolina.
Will Shipley’s availability for the upcoming game against No. 12 Notre Dame remains uncertain
Coach Dabo Swinney disclosed that Will Shipley’s neck scans, which registered significant motion during the impact, yielded positive results, providing a glimmer of hope for the player’s recovery.
During the second quarter, Will Shipley exhibited his prowess with an 11-yard run toward the Wolfpack’s 1-yard line. However, a swift turn of events led to a collision with North Carolina State‘s defensive back, Shyheim Battle, just as Will Shipley neared the ground. The aftermath saw Shipley momentarily grounded before he managed to exit the field unassisted.
Regrettably, he did not return to the game, culminating in a 24-17 defeat for Clemson
Swinney remarked that Will Shipley’s potential participation against the Fighting Irish at Death Valley would only be determined later in the week. Standing at 5-foot-11 and weighing 210 pounds, Will Shipley, a junior, is a pivotal force for Clemson, amassing an impressive 515 yards this season. Will Shipley’s exceptional performance has positioned him as a leading prospect for the NFL draft, should he opt to venture into professional football after this collegiate season.
