5-Star RB Will Shipley Visiting NC State Today
I confirmed with 5-Star 2021 Running Back Will Shipley (5’11”/200) that he will be in attendance for NC State’s matchup against Ball State tonight.
ESPN ranks Shipley as the #19 overall player nationally in the 2021 recruiting class. 247Sports and Rivals both rank him as the #1 All-Purpose Running Back in 2021.
Shipley ran 206 times for 1,417 yards and 19 touchdowns and caught 28 passes for 393 yards and six more scores as a Sophomore last year for Weddington High School.
Both of his parents are NC State alumni, as well as 20+members of his family. Ties like that give the Wolfpack a chance with the in-state sensation who also holds offers from Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, Notre Dame, Penn State, Tennessee, USC and a slew of others.
