Sports Take: Blake Shapen will be named starting quarterback this week

By Michael Haag | Sports Editor

Let’s be honest.

Is anyone going to be shocked if redshirt junior quarterback Blake Shapen is named the starting quarterback for the 2023 season? To me, it looks like Shapen will be named for the second-straight season this week, and I don’t think it’s even in question.

With Baylor football’s 15-practice spring season now over, all eyes are on Sept. 2, the day the Bears will open their season against Texas State University at McLane Stadium.

Head coach Dave Aranda has a decision to make before that day comes regarding his quarterback battle, and that announcement is expected to be made this week.
