Year 1 is typically a difficult season for coaches, but at the 2024 SEC Media Days on Wednesday, Lebby outlined a few Bulldogs who can help lead the team on the correct path early.
Mississippi State hired former Oklahoma offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby as its new head coach on Nov. 24, hoping to revive the Bulldogs' presence in the Southeastern Conference and the college football world.
On April 20, Shapen shined during the Bulldogs' spring game as he completed 18-of-22 attempts for 312 yards and three touchdowns. Lebby explained why Shapen is "the right guy." " John Lewis is here with us today and he's a guy I expect to have a great year," Lebby said. "He's got great toughness, great energy and the way he plays and the way he does what he does. For us, Stone Blanton is another guy on the defensive side of the ball who had great success at South Carolina and had the abilities to lead the defense there and now is stepping into a role for us to be able to give us some stability there.
