Mafah believes he and Shipley can be ‘unstoppable’ duo

Loganville (Ga.) Grayson four-star Phil Mafah, who became Clemson’s first commitment in the 2021 class last August, is no longer the only running back commit in the class.

Matthews (N.C.) Weddington five-star Will Shipley gave the Tigers a second running back commit when he jumped on board Tuesday, choosing Clemson over finalists Notre Dame, NC State, North Carolina and Stanford among numerous other offers.

“I was really excited because we got another commit, another running back in our class,” Mafah told The Clemson Insider. “I just can’t wait to get to work and compete, make each other better.
