Mississippi State quarterback Blake Shapen will miss the rest of the 2024 season due to a shoulder injury that will require surgery, the school announced Saturday.
The injury happened in Saturday’s 45-28 loss to Florida.
“We’re all hurting for Blake after this unfortunate news,” head coach Jeff Lebby said in a statement. “Blake is the ultimate competitor and teammate and an unquestioned leader in our program. I know he will work incredibly hard to come back stronger than ever, and he will continue to serve as a team leader from the sidelines. We will support Blake every step of the way during his recovery process and explore all options to help him seek a medical hardship waiver to regain his lost year of eligibility.”
Shapen joined Mississippi State this year after four seasons at Baylor, including starting for the last two years and winning the 2021 Big 12 championship game.
