Zappe committed to transfer to Western Kentucky, following former HBU offensive coordinator Zach Kittley.

Zappe’s top wide receiver at HBU, Jerreth Sterns, also transferred to WKU. He was named the Hilltoppers’ starting quarterback going into the 2021 season.

In his first start for Western Kentucky, he passed for 424 yards and seven touchdowns in a 59–21 win over Tennessee-Martin.

During the 2021 regular season, Zappe led the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) in passing yards, with 5,545, and touchdowns, with 56.

Before the 2021 Boca Raton Bowl, he had thrown for nearly 1,100 yards more than the second-ranked FBS quarterback (Will Rogers of Mississippi State), and was within striking distance of the FBS records for passing yardage and touchdowns, set by B. J. Symons of Texas Tech in 2003 and Joe Burrow of LSU in 2019, respectively.

In the 2021 Boca Raton Bowl against the Appalachian State Mountaineers, he broke both records, finishing the season with 5,967 passing yards and 62 touchdowns.

Nfl draft 

One of the best parts of every NFL Draft is seeing the players’ reactions to finding out they’re being selected and realizing their dream of becoming a pro football player.

It certainly was for Bailey Zappe, the Western Kentucky quarterback the New England Patriots selected with the 137th overall pick (fourth round) in last week’s draft.

The pick seemed to come as a surprise to Zappe, who even told his agent at one point in the video, “I was like, the Patriots ain’t gonna pick me right now.”

Zappe put up incredible stats at Western Kentucky last season. He set FBS passing records with 5,967 yards and 62 touchdowns.

Zappe figures to be the backup behind starting quarterback Mac Jones at some point, although the Patriots also have veteran Brian Hoyer and 2019 draft pick Jarrett Stidham on the QB depth chart right now.
