Will Shipley’s first collegiate game was baptism by fire.
Having not played football for almost two years, there’s an adjustment period. But after that first play, Shipley told reporters on Tuesday that he was “ready to go.”
Chills running down his spine, Shipley felt like he belonged.
“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. “Just getting back out there and playing for Clemson University, it was unreal. It’s something that I’ll remember for the rest of my life.
