On Wednesday morning, Baylor head coach Dave Aranda announced that Blake Shapen will be the starting quarterback in 2022.
It came as a bit of a surprise to many, considering that Gerry Bohanon started for the Bears last season, went 12-2, won a Sugar Bowl and accounted for 27 total touchdowns.To Aranda’s credit, he did the right thing. He could have kept the quarterback competition open and dragged it out through the summer. That would have guaranteed depth at the position, because Bohanon is in his final year of eligibility.
By naming a starter now, Aranda allowed Bohanon to seek one final pportunity at another program. And that’s exactly what he did.
Not long after the quarterback decision was made on Wednesday morning, Gerry Bohanon announced that he has entered the transfer portal and will spend 2022 as a grad transfer elsewhere.

Now that Bohanon is in the portal, he is by far the strongest quarterback available. In fact, he might be the strongest quarterback in the FBS.
Earlier this spring, right before spring practice, Bohanon took down a 610-pound squat while his teammates proceeded to lose their minds around him.
By putting up that massive number as a quarterback, he surpassed when Jalen Hurts broke the internet by squatting 600 pounds. Bohanon not only called his former Big-12 counterpart but raised him by 10 pounds.
Bohanon was impressive in 2021 after waiting three years to finally become the starting quarterback at Baylor. He accounted for more than 2,500 total yards and won football games.
Wherever he ends up in 2022, Bohanon is sure to be a valuable pickup for a team that is in desperate need of a quarterback before the fall.
