Jaylen Gipson just wants to see the field.
Texas State’s quarterback battle was a three-man race for most of the offseason — until it wasn’t. Following the team’s intrasquad scrimmage on Aug. 10, head coach Jake Spavital and offensive coordinator Bob Stitt informed Gipson he was no longer in consideration for the starting job.
“To be fair to whoever's going to be the guy against (Texas) A&M, we need to get more reps to a couple guys,” Stitt said on Wednesday. “So we cut down everybody else and we're letting (Tyler) Vitt and (Gresch) Jensen take all the reps, one or two, and they just rotate between the first team and the second team, getting a ton more reps. And we need to do that and that will enable both of those kids to be prepared when we do make the decision of who's going to start.”
