CHARLOTTE — David Pollack on Friday took his turn heaping praise on one of Clemson’s freshman running backs. He did so with a lofty comparison.
Will Shipley has generated plenty of buzz inside and outside of the Tigers’ program ever since arriving on campus in January. The five-star signee will put his skill set on display for the first time in a Clemson uniform Saturday when the Tigers open the season against Georgia inside Bank of America Stadium, the same place an NFL running back that Pollack likened to Shipley also performs on Sundays.
“I’m interested to see Will Shipley,” said Pollack, a college football analyst who’s part of ESPN’s weekly pregame show, College Gameday.
