Tyson Jacob Bagent ( BAY-jənt; born June 8, 2000) is an American professional football quarterback for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Shepherd Rams. As a five-year starter at Shepherd, Bagent broke almost every quarterback record for the school. He broke the Division II record for completions (1,400) and passing yards (17,034), as well as the NCAA record for passing touchdowns (159). In 2021, Bagent won the Harlon Hill Trophy and the Hardman Award as the top amateur athlete in West Virginia. He was named DII Offensive Player of the Year by almost every outlet. He was also a two-time All-American and PSAC East Offensive Player of the Year. After not being selected in the 2023 NFL draft, Bagent signed with the Bears as an undrafted free agent. Despite the high unlikelihood of making the final roster, an impressive performance in the preseason earned him a spot for the regular season as the backup quarterback. On October 22, 2023, he became the first Division II undrafted rookie quarterback to start an NFL game since 1950.
