CLEMSON, S.C. — The Atlantic Coast Conference announced today that running back Will Shipley has earned ACC Rookie of the Week honors for his performance in Clemson’s 49-3 win against South Carolina State on Saturday.
Clemson has now earned a total of 543 weekly honors since 1968, including two honors this season. Last week, linebacker James Skalski secured ACC Linebacker of the Week honors following Clemson’s season opener against Georgia.
The honor is the first of Shipley’s career and the 86th Rookie of the Week selection by a Clemson player since 1974. He becomes the first Clemson running back honored as Rookie of the Week since Travis Etienne’s selection after his performance against Florida State in 2017.
