Former University of Texas wide receiver Jordan Shipley is in critical condition following an accident at his ranch in Texas, his family announced. Details surrounding the accident remain limited, but family members confirmed his current status in a brief statement released earlier today.

Shipley, a highly decorated player for the Longhorns, gained prominence during his collegiate career. He was a key contributor to the Texas team that reached the national championship game in 2009. His impressive performance and skills earned him recognition as one of the top wide receivers in the nation during his time at Texas.

Following his collegiate career, Shipley was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He played for the Bengals for several seasons before pursuing other ventures, including returning to his home state and establishing a ranch.

The family’s statement expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support and requested privacy during this difficult time. Further updates will be provided as they become available. The exact nature of the ranch accident and Shipley’s injuries have not been disclosed at this time. Local authorities are reportedly investigating the incident.
