Matthew Shipley brings SEC-ready reliability and long-range range to Arkansas
Shipley is a seasoned, high-volume specialist whose biggest selling point is trust: in 2024 at Arkansas, he went 10-for-12 on field goals and 26-for-26 on extra points, and his Liberty Bowl performance included three makes with two from 40+ yards[1][3]. Across his career, he has been efficient from short and mid-range, has hit from 55 yards, and even doubled as a punter at Hawai‘i, giving coaches unusual roster flexibility[2][3]. He is the kind of kicker you care about because he has real SEC-game reps and a proven leg under pressure, not just workout-room hype[3][9].
