Watch Tommy Schuster score his first touchdown with Michigan State football

Macomb native Tommy Schuster scored his first touchdown in the green and white

Michigan State football went into the transfer to get themselves their starting quarterback Aidan Chiles, but what goes unnoticed is that the Spartans plucked North Dakota transfer Tommy Schuster to be their backup QB.

Schuster, a Macomb (MI) native, chose to come to East Lansing to be a backup instead of being a starting quarterback elsewhere. Schuster showed that he can have value as a backup quarterback, giving the Spartans a quality insurance policy at the QB spot.

In Michigan State’s win over Prairie View A&M on Saturday, Schuster was rewarded for coming to East Lansing, scoring his first touchdown wearing his hometown green and white.

LOOK: Michigan State football QB Aidan Chiles’ dad responds to team getting another QB

Aidan Chiles father, Adrian, responded to MSU getting a second QB out of the portal:

Michigan State’s new head coach Jonathan Smith made a splash in the transfer portal earlier this offseason when he landed the top rated QB in the portal, Aidan Chiles. Chiles, a former top-60 recruit comes with Smith from Oregon State.

Now, Smith has added another QB into the program, one with a lot of experience and a lot of success at the collegiate level. Tommy Schuster, a transfer from North Dakota, and a Macomb (MI) native is coming back home to play for MSU.

Chiles’ dad responded to this news via X, “Competition builds character. Experience in the room is good for all involved. Gotta Work!!!!”

The right mindset for Chiles and his family heading into spring ball.
