Clemson's running back, Will Shipley, was seen on crutches celebrating with his team after their win at the TaxSlayer Bowl. Shipley suffered a knee injury, but an MRI revealed no structural damage and no surgery is required. He is deciding between the NFL draft and playing his senior year at Clemson in 2024. Eventually, Shipley declared for the 2024 NFL Draft, leaving Phil Mafah as the likely RB1 for Clemson in 2024.
