Longhorn hottie Jordan Shipley has been Colt McCoys roommate for so long they would be considered domestic partners in some states. The 2009 season will be Shipley’s sixth in Austin and it marks the fourth consecutive year in which he has lived with his buddy Colt. The unique relationship between Colt and Jordan goes beyond just being roomies though. Not only are they friends and roomies but their fathers played college football together. And, each has a really beefy ass (see below).
The NCAA granted Shipley a medical hardship which allows him to return for his sixth and final season. Shipley’s career at Texas has ranged from full of promise, to injury plagued, to a break out year in 2008 in which he was responsible for over 1500 all-purpose yards. McCoy and Shipley look to once again be the catalysts to one of college football’s most explosive offenses. Jordan sat out spring drills to recover from shoulder surgery and has been plagued with knee and hamstring issues throughout his career.
At 6-0 and 190 lbs, Shipley is considered small by NFL standards but you can’t teach speed and Shipley can burn. Jordan has been named to just about every offensive pre season awards watch lists including the Walter Camp Player of the Year, Fred Biletnikoff and Maxwell awards watch list. His kickoff return in 2008 versus Oklahoma, the only kick return in the history of the Red River Rivalry, will forever be remembered as the play that turned the game around for Texas. Jordan stepped up his game against the stiffest competition last year. Consider this, in addition to the kickoff return against OU he also pulled in 11 receptions for 112 yards and 1 TD. Against Texas Tech his 45 yard punt return in the 3rd ignited a deflated Longhorn squad. Finally, against Oklahoma State he set a school record with 15 passes for 168 yards.
And, if Big 12 fans thought this season marks the end of seeing a Shipley in a Longhorn uniform, Jordan’s younger brother Jaxon appears headed to UT in 2011.
