As a freshman, Shivers helped the Tigers take down Purdue in the Music City Bowl while rushing for 33 yards in the 63-14 victory.

He then transferred to Indiana for his senior year and would rush 592 yards and six touchdowns on 143 total carries while hauling in 22 receptions for 128 yards and one major across 12 games.
