Set to take over as starter Shapen will be named Baylor's next starting quarterback, SicEm365.com reports.

Impact This decision comes after Shapen apparently outplayed incumbent Gerry Bohanon throughout a fierce spring competition. Shapen came on late in the season and led Baylor to key victories over Texas Tech and ultimately Oklahoma State in the Big 12 TItle Game. It's unclear what Bohanon's next step is, but Shapen is set to be the starter in Waco in 2022. He completed 62 of 86 pass attempts (72.1%) to go with five touchdowns and no interceptions in five appearances as a redshirt freshman.
