Gavin Shipman brings veteran depth and ball skills to Charlotte’s secondary
In the 2025 season, Charlotte DB Gavin Shipman logged 10 tackles, 1 interception, and 2 pass deflections, and he even earned a 74 overall rating in EA Sports College Football 26, which lines up with a steady, playable defensive back profile[3][11]. He’s a redshirt senior transfer from Harvard with a compact 5-11, 180 build, and Charlotte listed him as an Academic All-Conference selection for 2026, which points to a disciplined, high-IQ fit who can help a defense with maturity, versatility, and toughness[1][14].
