[8] [9]

Bagent became the starting quarterback for the Shepherd Rams as a freshman in 2018 and made his debut on September 1, 2018, against Notre Dame (OH), where he threw for 518 yards on 36 completions and 54 attempts and three touchdowns in a 35–33 loss. His completions, attempts, and passing yards were all school records. [10] A week later against Glenville State, Bagent was named Mountain East Conference (MEC) Offensive Player of the Week when he completed 32 of 41 passes for 378 yards and four total touchdowns in a 41–24 win. [11] In their 27–7 road win against West Virginia State, Bagent would win the award for the second-straight week with a 318-yard, two-touchdown performance.
