Sports Take: Baylor’s quarterback stock pointing up after loss to Texas State

By Jackson Posey | Sports Writer

After an offseason of hand-wringing about who would start under center, Baylor football finds itself in an enviable spot at the quarterback position.

It was a long journey to get to this point. At one point in the offseason, redshirt junior quarterback Blake Shapen was the team’s only scholarship quarterback, with former four-star Kyron Drones transferring to Virginia Tech and longtime blue-chip commit Austin Novosad flipping to Oregon. At the time, Shapen was coming off a disappointing loss to Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl.
