NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Wide receiver Mason Shipp has been selected as a nominee for the 2024 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.
 
Established in 1992, the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team recognizes college football athletes for their unwavering commitment to community service and their "good works" off the field. This year's 178 nominees champion causes including mental health awareness, youth mentorship, hunger relief, domestic abuse prevention, and many more. In addition to being actively involved with a charitable organization or service group, each player must also maintain strong academic standing to be considered for a spot on the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.
 
Shipp was fourth on the team in receptions last year and caught his first career touchdown pass in the victory over Sacred Heart. He was named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District team.
 
Off the field, Shipp is very active in the Yale and local community. He is the Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) Subcommittee Chair for Yale Bulldogs for Change, the Ivy League Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) Vice Chair and the Co-President of the Black Student-Athlete Coalition. With BSAC, he has worked to organize and develop a new partnership with the New Haven Chapter of the Boys & Girls Club. BSAC members have started volunteering at the club, spending time with kids from the local community playing recreational sports.
 
The final roster of 23 award recipients announced later in September will bring together:

• 11 players from the NCAA FBS
• 11 players from the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), Divisions II, III and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)
• 1 honorary head coach

All members are selected by a voting panel of former Allstate AFCA Good Works Team members, current and former head coaches and journalists who look for exceptional leadership on and off the football field.
