Elite 2021 running back Will Shipley committed to Clemson on Tuesday afternoon.
The Weddington High School (NC) product rushed for over 2,000 yards with 40 total touchdowns last season. He averaged 17.1 yards per catch with eight receiving touchdowns and also tossed two scores as a junior. Check out some of the instant reactions on Twitter: BREAKING: The #1 All-Purpose Back (RB) in the Nation, Will Shipley, has just Committed to Clemson University! BREAKING: No. 1 all-purpose back Will Shipley commits to #Clemson. 102 seconds of new Clemson commitment Will Shipley (@willshipley2021) not being tackled pic.twitter.com/7R8fb1LyL0 Five-star running back Will Shipley just announced his commitment to Clemson. Notre Dame took a big swing here and ultimately took a big loss with the North Carolina product. Ultimately, distance proved to be a hurdle Notre Dame couldn't clear. Some thoughts... 1/ The biggest issue for Notre Dame is less Shipley's talent than the inability to breakup the recruiting clique at the top of college football of Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State, Alabama and LSU. If the Irish aren't beating them in recruiting, they're not beating them in the CFP. 4/ Shipley going to Clemson certainly wasn’t a surprise just wish he got to get on campus for a visit. Way too many stories about people realizing what ND really is when they get here. But the idea of Notre Dame cracking the Top 5 (or Top 10) as Brian Kelly stated in December will likely have to wait a year. And unfortunately for Notre Dame, the '22-'23 schedules include Ohio State and Clemson. Today's recruiting setbacks become tomorrow's game plans. X/ ??????????
