Bailey has by far been one of the top quarterbacks in the state of Texas for two years straight and has lead the Desoto Eagles to consecutive state titles to close out one the best two year runs for a quarterback in school history. There is no throw on the field that Bailey can’t make, his ability to complete passes from any arm slot, on the run, elude pressure and throw a laser on time is next level. Bailey’s stats reflect high level production, he put up phenomenal numbers, passing for close to 7,200 yards and tossing 89 touchdowns during his final two seasons at Desoto. A two time state champion, Bailey signed with Sam Houston State during the early signing day and heads to Huntsville with the skill set that will enable him to challenge for playing time early.
