EXCITING UPDATE:
In a monumental move that has stunned the world of college football, Clemson Tigers superstar Will Shipley has inked a record-breaking $38 million endorsement deal with Powerade — one of the largest NIL deals ever seen in college sports.
But it’s what Shipley did next that has captured the hearts of fans across the nation.
In a remarkable act of generosity, the star running back has donated $18 million of his earnings directly to the Clemson football program, aiming to support player development, facilities, and scholarships. On top of that, Shipley has given $4.8 million to a South Carolina orphanage — a cause he’s long been passionate about.
“I’ve been blessed beyond belief,” Shipley said in a heartfelt statement. “This isn’t just about me. It’s about giving back to the community and the program that made me who I am. I want to leave a legacy far bigger than football.”
The 22-year-old phenom has long been praised for his leadership, work ethic, and character — but this latest move has elevated him to near-legendary status both on and off the field.
Sources close to Powerade say the deal includes national advertising campaigns, exclusive merchandise collaborations, and community initiatives led by Shipley himself.
“Will Shipley represents everything we believe in — excellence, drive, and heart,” said a Powerade spokesperson. “This partnership isn’t just about branding. It’s about impact.”
With this groundbreaking deal, Shipley not only cements his place among the top earners in college sports but also secures his legacy as a role model, philanthropist, and future icon of the game.
