Shipley is known for his engaging personality and has served as the team Santa Claus for the Nittany Lions' annual Christmas party. [1] He is known as a team leader who has sought out leadership positions.

I just love being a leader, love being the center, knowing that the play starts with me and being able to control the offensive line, when I played high school basketball, I loved having the ball in my hands for the last shot. I like to be able to try to raise other people's play. [5]

Shipley began the 2008 season on the Lombardi, [6] Outland, [7] and Rimington Trophy [8] watchlists. By October, he had earned mid-season All-American honors from Sports Illustrated , College Football News , CBS Sports, and Phil Steele.
