Freshman quarterback Jarrett Stidham will make his first start for No. 2 Baylor on Nov. 5 at Kansas State.
True freshman Jarrett Stidham left Stephenville High School a semester early last year so he could join the Baylor Bears for spring workouts and get a head start on Baylor coach Art Briles' offense.
The Bears are about to find out if his early tutorial will pay off.
Stidham, a 6-foot-3, dual-threat quarterback, will make his first start in place of the injured Seth Russell on Nov. 5 at Kansas State.
