Both of his parents went to NC State, as did many other family members.
Let’s see what we can dig out about Will Shipley parents, James and Tammy Shipley, shall we?
Who is Will Shipley’s father, James Sr. Shipley?
According to playersbio.com, Will Shipley’s father, James Sr. Shipley was a football coach at their hometown’s football organization, Weddington Titans, and seeing him training the young boys for Pop Warner later inspired both his sons.
He attended Catawba College and later acquired a master’s degree in Sports Management from the NC State University between 1989 and 1993.
He has worked as the Managing Partner of National Amateur Sports for more than eleven years.
He manages National Amateur Sports’ marketing initiatives, including strategy, program development, sponsorship activation, and marketing communications.
Who is Will Shipley’s mother, Tammy Shipley?
Will Shipley’s mother, Tammy Shipley is also an NC State graduate.
She was a little strict regarding academics and kept education above everything.
So, she always made sure the boys did their assignments before they went out to play games.
Despite that, Tammy was impressed by her kids’ athletic prowess and enjoyed seeing them competing and playing games together.
Tammy was happy when Will expressed his desire to become a professional athlete while still in high school.
She had seen him improve so much as a player over the years, and by then, she was convinced he could do much better in sports than academics.
Tammy Shipley is a hip-hop connoisseur, and when Will and his older brother, James Jr., were kids, she had a habit of making up raps about them and their friends and could freestyle entire narratives about their football games.
