3-star dual-threat quarterback Hunter Loyd commits to Missouri State football

Missouri State will have a new man behind center in 2020, and it appears the Bears have added a new quarterback to the mix.

Rogers, Arkansas, native Hunter Loyd shared on Twitter that he has committed to play for Missouri State.

Loyd is listed as a three-star quarterback by 247Sports.com with a 0.8265 composite ranking. He held multiple offers from schools including Louisiana-Monroe, Arkansas State, Cornell and UT Martin. 

Rivals.com lists Arkansas as a team that had interest in the 6-foot-4, 205-pound quarterback. 

Loyd is the second Class of 2020 quarterback to commit to Missouri State. 

The Bears received a verbal commitment from Lee's Summit quarterback Darrias Pearsall in early August. The quarterback still lists himself as an MSU commit in his Twitter bio.

Missouri State is scheduled to lose starting quarterback Peyton Huslig and backup J.T. Granato after this upcoming season due to graduation. That would leave freshman Ty Baker, sophomore Dalton Hill and redshirt-freshman Parker Powell as the returning quarterbacks on the roster.
