Mississippi State QB Blake Shapen (shoulder) to miss rest of season

Mississippi State quarterback Blake Shapen will need season-ending shoulder surgery after getting injured in Saturday’s 45-28 loss to Florida.

Shapen completed 13 of 21 passes for 140 yards and a touchdown against the Gators before leaving the game early in the fourth quarter. True freshman Michael Van Buren Jr. took over under center and threw for 100 yards on 7-for-13 passing.

“We’re all hurting for Blake after this unfortunate news,” Bulldogs coach Jeff Lebby said. “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, a Baylor transfer, completed 74 of 108 passes for 974 yards, eight TDs and one interception in four games this season.

Mississippi State is off to a 1-3 start.
