As the place kick holder. He is the #2 man on the chart behind Billy Pittman at flanker. Quan Crosby takes Pittman's slot as sub B in the three receiver formation.

Three ex Central Texas 3a players starting on the defending National Championship team.

If he can stay healthy, he'll not only start as the place kicker's holder, but he'll start on offense too by season's end. He's by far the most explosive WR they have at UT. They need Sweed's size so he's safe. IMO he will unseat Cosby or Pittman by season's end, probably Pittman, Cosby is more explosive than Pittman. But, Shipley has to prove something that thoes guys don't, that he can stay healthy. The injuries that he's endured at UT have cost him his spot in the starting lineup two years in a row, and now that he's healthy they have guys with proven game experience. Now the only way for him to get on the field as a starter is if one gets injured, or wait on the few plays he gets in during gametime and just outshine his counterparts. I do believe he will do it when given the chance. I'm glad that he's finally healthy and has found a way to get on the field...:clap:

Pittman is very good. I think Shipley is the best receiver I have ever witnessed in HS, but Pittman and Cosby both have the experience and are great athletes as well. He might very well bump one of them by years end though.

Don't use "Shipley" and "Cracks" in the same sentance! I just knew that the next word was going to be tibia or vertebrae or tailbone.....I hope he can stay healthy he is a special player...very explosive and fun to watch.

I just think that what Shipley can do with the ball once he catches it, will eventually lead to Mack having to replace one of them with him in the starting lineup. UT is lucky to have 4 great wideouts in those three and Sweed. I've went and watched them practice several times too, and they another one that may be more physically talented than any of them in Hardy. He is SUPER talented!

Only thing Shipley has over Pittman and Cosby is break away speed. I remember times when Pittman and Cosby were sucked in by a CB that was 20 yards behind him.

I can tell any of you that haven't seen Jordan Shipley play, he is the most amazing receiver I've ever seen in high school ball also. This is eye witness testimony.

I have seen him too. 66 RM and a few others including G2 and Myself watched him play in the title game against Gainesville. He can run a route like nobody I have ever seen. Big, Fast, and Strong, but what probably separates him from the pack is his football IQ. He may be the smartest football brain on the team.

Am I reading this right? Are you suggesting Cosby is slow? When was Quan Cosby "sucked in by a CB that was 20 yards behind him"???? I need an example. And as for Billy Pittman, all I remember him doing is getting behind CBs and scoring TDs.

Pittman led the Nation in YAC. I realize that, but this year most of the defense, including DBs will not have to play Texas at the line of scrimmage. There will be alot more traffic in the secondaries. Like I said earlier, I know Pittman is a great WR, but if you think he can do with the ball what Shipley can after he catches it, you need to go and watch them practice. Better yet, just wait and see the kind of plays that Shipley makes, and then the kind that Billy makes this year, and you'll see what I mean...

Shipleys lateral movement is ridiculous. I can remember his freshman year at Roby he scored 4 times including kickoff return for a td.
the best play i ever witnessed of his was against gaineville where he slipped triple coverage with a pectacular route and McGee hit him deep. The kickoff return in that game was pretty studly also.

I hope they defenses drop back into coverage that will let the running game explode!

I think some of your are seriously underestimating Pittman and Sweed. Not to mention, they both are the veteran receivers. (Cosby included.)

I'm not saying Shipley can't come in a wreck shop beause he can and eventually will. (I've seen him do it against my alma mater.) But to say that he'll take Pittman or Sweed's spot by the end of the year is a little extreme, IMO. Shipley hasn't even played a down of college football yet.


I'm very, very, very, very, very excited that he's back and I can't wait to see him hit the field. The dude is gonna be a beast.

Also--fake field goals anyone?
