If you’re a Notre Dame fan that follows recruiting even somewhat closely you’re aware of the name [autotag]Will Shipley[/autotag]. Shipley was one of the top-ranked running backs in the 2021 recruiting class and ultimately opted to play football at Clemson with Notre Dame being the maid of honor in his recruitment.
Shipley developed a close bond with a few Notre Dame recruits in the 2021 class as he and [autotag]Blake Fisher[/autotag] were often seen talking back and forth on social media. Now Shipley is Clemson’s biggest offensive weapon as he’s produced more than double the scrimmage yards of any of his teammates.
It seemed to have been a good choice for Shipley who by all accounts seems like an easy young man to pull for. That’s not to say things didn’t work out alright for Notre Dame with running backs that cycle as [autotag]Audric Estime[/autotag] and [autotag]Logan Diggs[/autotag] have emerged as the leaders of the Irish backfield this fall.
Here is everything the former prized Notre Dame target and current Clemson star had to say about getting ready to take on the Fighting Irish.
