  08/11/22 - RB Will ShipleyJr/2024, Clemson

  The play itself wasn't explicitly mentioned, but a smile appeared on Clemson running back Will Shipley's face as he was asked about mistakes from the 2021 season that drive him. "There's a couple of plays I think about," said Shipley, just a bit coyly. Really, the list can be narrowed to one. Shipley was productive last season, but his drop of a perfectly thrown deep ball from D.J. Uiagalelei at Pittsburgh - wide open up the middle of the field - remains a poignant moment for the sophomore. Mostly because it shows the untapped potential of a former five-star recruit, who made part of his reputation in the Charlotte area as a pass-catching threat.

But the drop itself wasn't the most revealing piece for Shipley, who arrived for Clemson's preseason practice looking a bit more mature with a full goatee. He thinks about a "couple" of plays, and a known perfectionist knows he didn't handle them - or it - very well. "I stuck on it for too long," Shipley said. "It not only affected me during the game but even the next week, preparing for the next opponent." This year, Shipley won't let that happen. He was asked about his freshman mistakes and shrugged them off, saying "That's all in the past." One of the Tigers' most promising playmakers believes he has grown up after a trial by fire as a freshman. He thinks back to the first play of his career versus Georgia and laughs, "I didn't know what the hell was going on." He recalls that drop versus Pittsburgh and admits, "The moment was sometimes too big for me last year." But this year, Shipley noticed a difference as soon as camp opened. "Me being a sophomore, I could just feel it today," Shipley said. "Everything is a lot slower than last year." - Charleston Post Courier
