Mason Shipley has been a steady, clutch-legged weapon for Texas
In the 2025 season, Shipley gave Texas reliable production at kicker, hitting 20 of 24 field goals and all 48 extra points, with a long of 53 yards and a game-winning 45-yarder in overtime at Kentucky. He stands out for his calm under pressure and consistency on makeable kicks—he was perfect from 30 to 49 yards in 2025—and brings veteran poise after a strong Texas State career. The knock is that most of his misses came from long range, so he profiles as a dependable, high-floor specialist rather than a pure leg-power outlier.[12][16][17]
