Marcel Shipp is Back!


Marcel Shipp played in his first game of the 2005 season recently. He averaged 8 yds/carry against the Chiefs.

Shipp missed all of the 2004 after suffering a severe leg injury in practice.

There is a nice article here about his comeback.

Shipp has averaged over 4/yds a carry over his NFL Career.

Marcel is a Minuteman legend after he led UMass to its 1998 National Championship. He was the all-time leading rusher in the A01 with 6,250 yards. He set UMass career records in carries (1,215), yds/game (130.2), all-purpose yds (7,759) and 63 touchdowns.

He also rushed for 244 yards against Georgia Southern in the 1998 National Championship game (then a Championship Game record)
