In an emotional announcement that sent shockwaves through the Baylor Bears football community, quarterback Blake Shapen revealed that he will delay entering the NFL Draft to return for his final year at Baylor. With analysts widely projecting him as a mid-round pick, Shapen’s decision caught everyone off guard—but fans are overjoyed. “I’ve got unfinished business here,” Shapen told a packed press room in Waco. “We’ve got a championship to chase, and I want to bring that trophy home.” After a rollercoaster 2024 season where Shapen showed flashes of brilliance and moments of inconsistency, this announcement signifies his belief in both his growth and the team’s potential. Coach Dave Aranda praised the move, calling it “a powerful statement about loyalty, leadership, and legacy.” With a solid offensive line returning and a promising group of receivers, Baylor suddenly finds itself in Big 12 title conversations again. Rumors suggest Shapen turned down lucrative NIL offers elsewhere just to stay in green and gold. The announcement video—set against dramatic music—went viral within hours, pulling in thousands of likes and “Sic ‘em!” comments. Baylor fans are already dreaming big: Could Shapen’s swan song bring home Baylor’s next championship?
