Social media reacts: Will Shipley shines in possibly his final game in Death Valley
Clemson took down No.20 North Carolina on Senior Day in front of their home crowd in Clemson Memorial Stadium as junior running back Will Shipley put together a magnificent and possible final performance at Death Valley.
While Shipley has not announced whether he will return to Clemson for another season, he did participate in Senior Day festivities. There are no guarantees, but signs point to a departure for the NFL right now.
In the game, Shipley took 18 carries for 126 yards and a touchdown, adding two catches for 53 yards. He looked as explosive as ever and showed NFL scouts once again what he is capable of.
It was a strong performance from the star running back, and it had people talking. Here is a look at how Twitter/X reacted to Shipley’s big day.
Tonight, the 10th player in Clemson history reached 4,000 career all-purpose yards.

Swinney, expounding on Shipley: "I hope he comes back. One more little ride. Because we’ve kind of hit our stride with him and Mafah."
Says he thinks Clemson has a good team coming back in 2024, and he'd like Shipley to be a part.
"Whatever he decides, I'm all for it." https://t.co/FDTmVZ5Awb

Dabo Swinney on RB Will Shipley: "He'll make a great pro." Says if Shipley didn't have his degree (he does) he wouldn't have a decision to make and would probably come back. "He'll pray on it … just a matter of what he wants to do. I hope he comes back — one last ride"
