Former Michigan State football QB re-enters transfer portal

A former MSU QB has made the move to re-enter the NCAA transfer portal

Noah Kim made five starts for Michigan State in 2023, taking the starting quarterback job from Payton Thorne in the spring, and holding down the fort until an injury ended his 2023 campaign.

After the season, following a coaching change from Mel Tucker to Jonathan Smith, Kim made the decision to transfer from MSU to Costal Carolina.

In two years at MSU, Kim went 105/179 for 1,264 yards, 9 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. With his one year at Coastal Carolina, he went 30/56 for 333 yards, 4 touchdowns and a pick.

Kim will now be looking for a new home.

MSU head coach Harlon Barnett provides QB updates, avoids naming starter

MSU apparently knows who will be starting at quarterback this week but is not going to share that until Saturday

Michigan State apparently knows who will be starting at quarterback this week but is not going to share that until Saturday.

Head coach Harlon Barnett elected to not name a starting quarterback during his weekly press conference on Monday, but he did provide a somewhat notable update. Barnett said the team knows what they are going to do at that position when they take the field against Rutgers on Saturday.

Here’s how Graham Couch of the Lansing State Journal viewed Barnett’s update on Monday:

Noah Kim has started the first five games of the season but has struggled in the Spartans’ last three games — all of which they’ve lost. Kim has thrown six interceptions to only one touchdown in those three straight losses.

Kim’s struggles have resulted in many wanting the Spartans to switch things up and give freshman Katin Houser a chance at starting. Houser has appeared in only six career games and thrown 18 pass attempts.

Kickoff between Michigan State and Rutgers is scheduled for 12 p.m. ET on Saturday. The game will be televised on Big Ten Network.

LSJ’s Graham Couch: Time for MSU football to make a switch at QB

Is it time for the Spartans to make a change at quarterback?

If Michigan State wants to get anything out of this season, the Spartans need to make a change at quarterback. That’s at least what Graham Couch of the Lansing State Journal believes.

Starting quarterback Noah Kim had another shaky performance on Saturday, throwing three interceptions and failing to lead a touchdown drive in the loss at Iowa. It was a third straight tough performance for Kim, and it has many including Couch calling for a change in the starting position.

With a bye week coming up, it would make sense to make the switch now if the Spartans are going to make the change. Katin Houser is the backup who would be expected to step in as the starter.

MSU football to start QB Noah Kim vs. Iowa on Saturday

Despite a pair of tough outings the past two weeks, Michigan State will continue to roll with Noah Kim as its starting quarterback.

Despite a pair of tough outings the past two weeks, Michigan State will continue to roll with Noah Kim as its starting quarterback.

On Monday, Michigan State acting head coach Harlon Barnett confirmed the Spartans will stick with Kim as the starter for this week’s matchup against Iowa. This is the first road game of the year for the Spartans and will mark Kim’s first career start on the road.

Kim got off to a fast start this year for the Spartans but has since struggled once the competition got harder. In the last two games against Washington and Maryland, Kim has completed less than 50 percent of his passes for 326 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions.

Kim will need to respond with a strong performance against Iowa’s always solid defense in this week’s road test. If he doesn’t, Michigan State will surely lose its third straight game.

Michigan State football interim head coach Harlon Barnett talks QB situation

Harlon Barnett talked about MSU’s QB situation after the loss to Maryland:

Michigan state football dropped a costly game against the Maryland Terrapins, mostly in part due to the five turnovers the Spartans committed in the contest. Of those five turnovers, two came by way of interceptions by Noah Kim, who also missed Montorie Foster on a touchdown by a clear overthrow.

The Spartans turned to redshirt freshman Katin Houser in the fourth quarter, who led a good drive but ultimately threw a pick inside the 5-yard line.

Barnett talked about the QB change, but further affirmed that Noah Kim was this team’s quarterback.

How does Noah Kim compare to other Big Ten QBs in terms of Total QBR?

After a summer of uncertainty, Noah Kim is now solidified as the starter for Michigan State football, and has even earned himself the honor of being named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week since taking over the starting role.

But how does Kim compare to other quarterbacks in the Big Ten, which has been a strong conference for the position of late. ESPN uses Total QBR to rank quarterbacks, which is a system that ‘values the quarterback on all play types on a 0-100 scale adjusted for the strength of opposing defenses faced.’

Below, you can see how Noah Kim stacks up to the other quarterbacks in the conference heading into a huge match-up against Washington.

Noah Kim named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week

Michigan State football quarterback Noah Kim has been named Big Ten offensive player of the week following his performance against Richmond.

Kim was deadly accurate, only missing four passes on the day. He finished going 18-for-22 with 292 yards and three touchdowns in the Spartans’ 45 to 14 win over the Spiders. He also had six carries for 21 yards and showed off some good speed. I’d expect to see more of that in the coming weeks.

Michigan State football QB Noah Kim responds to boo birds at Spartan Stadium

On a recent podcast, MSU QB Noah Kim spoke about the boo birds at Spartan Stadium on Friday night:

It is no secret that Michigan State fans have had a lot of displeasure with their football program over the past year. With the struggles that surrounded the team, fans wanted to see improvements in 2023.

While it is way too early to be judging this team, as it is was way too early to boo in the second quarter of Friday night’s game, fans inside Spartan Stadium did it anyways.

Noah Kim joined the This is Sparta MSU Podcast, hosted by former MSU players Otis Wiley, Jayson Strayhorn and Jehuu Caulcrick. On the podcast, MSU’s signal caller talked about how he and the team felt when the boo birds came out:
