Michigan State Football: Each quarterback’s chance of starting in 2020

Honorable Mentions

Noah Kim and Eli McLean fall under the “anything could happen” category. One notable quarterback who has overcome this stigmatized title is Tyler O’Connor. Sure, he wasn’t a great quarterback in the traditional sense, but he gave it his all. That’s all that matters, right?

Kim is coming in as a three-star quarterback out of Chantilly, Va. He’ll be a true freshman in 2020 after a decorated high school career. His other offers included Western Michigan, Fordham and most notably, Virginia Tech. It’s likely that with the experience and talent in front of him, he won’t see very much playing time in his early days as a Spartan.

McLean, on the other hand, previously went to school at Notre Dame. OK, maybe not the Notre Dame, but his high school was called Notre Dame Prep. He put up modest, but strong stats. In fact, he had 1,000 yards, 12 touchdowns and just three interceptions his senior year, but held no notable D1 offers. I wish him all the best in East Lansing, but the odds of him starting are about as strong as the odds of me going back for a second bachelor’s degree, walking on and winning the starting spot.
