UT Martin’s do-it-all linebacker and turnover magnet
Tevin Shipp was a tone-setting linebacker for UT Martin in the 2024 season, posting 80 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and three interceptions while earning first-team all-conference and academic honors[1][3][4]. What makes him pop isn’t just the production: he climbed from walk-on to captain, played in 55 career games, and consistently showed range, ball skills and a knack for big plays, including multiple interceptions returned for touchdowns across his career[3][5][7]. If a team wants a mature, high-motor defender with instincts and special-teams-ready toughness, Shipp is the kind of lunch-pail player who quietly wrecks game plans.
