Will Shipley

PHLRB • #28

Eagles selected Clemson RB Will Shipley with the No. 127 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

A four-star recruit and one of the country’s most sought-after running backs, Shipley (5’11/206) committed to Clemson over Alabama, Penn State, and many other Power Five schools. After a productive freshman season that saw him score 11 touchdowns, Shipley erupted for 1,182 yards and 15 scores on 210 carries in 2022. He also added 38 grabs for 242 yards through the air. Shipley’s numbers took a hit in his final season. His efficiency stats fell across the board and he took a backseat to Phil Mafah in the backfield, resulting in a 167/827/5 rushing line. Shipley hits the hole hard and navigates space well but doesn’t have home run speed or elite tackle-breaking numbers. The fact that he was relegated to backup duties in college suggests he will play the same role in the NFL.
