Baylor adds Louisiana Tech grad transfer QB Luke Anthony
Louisiana Tech grad transfer quarterback Luke Anthony has decided to walk on at Baylor to finish out his career. The 6-foot-1, 208-pound prospect will be immediately eligible to play for the 2022 season and he will compete to be the back up this year behind Blake Shapen. His starting experience could give him an edge over the other quarterbacks on the roster.
The 2020 C-USA Newcomer of the Year finished with 1,479 yards, 16 touchdowns and five interceptions while completing 62.4% of his passes.
He spent his first four years of college at Abilene Christian and was the starter for both the 2018 and 2019 seasons. During those two years he threw for 5,544 yards and 40 touchdowns with 20 interceptions. He completed 64.6% of his passes.
While at ACU he played against Baylor in 2018. He went 26-for-39 for 231 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. Baylor won that game 55-27 but at the time people were shocked by how much ACU was able to score against the Bears.
