A Nebraska target at quarterback announced he is heading to the SEC. Baylor transfer Blake Shapen confirmed he will join Mississippi State for the 2024 season.
Shapen was originally a three-star prospect out of Shreveport, Louisiana, in the 2020 recruiting cycle. This season, he appeared in eight games for Baylor, completing 61.7% of his passing attempts for 2,188 yards and 13 touchdowns while throwing just three interceptions.
Nebraska offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield met with Shapen in Waco, Texas, earlier this week. His decision takes off the board one of the several potential options the Huskers were looking for at the quarterback position in the transfer portal.
