      Always got to see an exUte do good.

      ST. LOUIS – Missouri State quarterback Jason Shelley (Frisco, Texas) was announced Wednesday (Nov. 24) as the Missouri Valley Football Conference Offensive Player of the Year as well as the league’s Newcomer of the Year.
       
      A transfer from Utah State, Shelley has guided the Bears to their second straight NCAA FCS Playoff berth, an 8-3 regular season, and a second-place finish in the rugged Missouri Valley Football Conference (6-2). MoState is also unbeaten at home this fall (5-0) with a national ranking of 10 in this week’s AFCA FCS Top 25 poll.
       
      Shelley has shattered the Missouri State single-season records for passing yards (3,068) and total offense (3,417) during the 2021 campaign while ranking eighth in the nation in yards per completion (14.4), eighth in yards per attempt (8.57), 10th in total offense (310.3), 11th in passing yards (3,068), 13th in points responsible (176), 14th in passing yards per game (278.9) and 23rd in rushing touchdowns (10).
       
      He has completed 213 of 358 pass attempts on the season (.595) with 19 touchdowns and just six interceptions. He has also rushed for 349 yards and 10 touchdowns.
       
      Shelley, who will have one more season of eligibility next season for the Bears, is the 21st MVFC player to throw for 3,000 yards in a season, but the first Bear to do so. He currently ranks 19th on the league’s single-season passing chart, which includes such names as Sean Payton and Carson Wentz. He is currently 14th on the Valley’s single-season total offense rankings.

        Not surprising Shelly is succeeding. He stepped up for the Utes big time

      At the FCS level, I would not expect anything less from a QB that started several games at the U. I was shocked he didn’t do better at USU and I was sure he could have been very productive if he has stayed at the U. He would have beat out Bentley for the 2020 run, even after spending time at safety.
