Mike Gundy Expects Backup QB Decision to Come Next Week

Mike Gundy said Monday in a call with reporters that he anticipates making a decision on who will be Oklahoma State’s backup quarterback “at this time next week,” signaling the end of one of the more under-discussed position battles in fall camp as freshman Shane Illingworth battles with junior college transfer Ethan Bullock for the job.

“Both guys are doing really well,” said Gundy. “We’ve split reps with them. We’re going to make a decision at this time next week on who that quarterback will be.”

Illingworth, a 6-foot-5 pro-style quarterback from California, was the highest-ranked signee in OSU’s 2020 recruiting class.
