Michigan State football has had a quarterback battle sneak up on it since the end of last season. Before last season, it looked as though Payton Thorne was going to hold that position firmly until he decided to leave the program. However, a rocky season opened the door for some competition.
The main contender seems to be redshirt freshman Katin Houser. The former four-star recruit has had significant buzz this offseason, and offensive coordinator Jay Johnson confirmed as much a few weeks ago. However, all indications are that redshirt junior Noah Kim is still in the running for the starting job.
On Tuesday, Kim commented on the quarterback battle, saying simply: “Until that first game, it’s on.”
That’s exactly the type of fire and competition Mel Tucker has been looking to instill in this program, and it’s a good sign the Spartans have three guys who look like legit Big Ten quarterbacks.
Noah Kim said he’s unsure when MSU’s QB competition will be settled or where it stands, but did offer: “Until that first game, it’s on.”
