Georgia Athletic Association Professor David E. Shipley was recently honored by the National Football Foundation. The group is recognizing 16 faculty athletics representatives from schools across the country that have a member included in the 2023 NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class. Shipley will be joined by wide receiver Ladd McConkey, UGA's scholar-athlete. The honor recognizes the significant role faculty athletics representatives play in the "overall educational experience" of student-athletes and ensuring their success on and off the field.
