That’s like the 4th or 5th Spartan to enter the transfer portal this season. Wonder if we have any interest in any of them.

Was obvious from his first game Lombardi was not a Big Ten QB.

And yet he led MSU to win over U-M this year. Probably says more about the Whinereenies than Spartoonies.

Isn't he their starter?

That makes me concerned about Eleby. I thought starting QBs tended not to transfer......

Payton Thorne started last game and was going to start today. Don't know if Lombardi had been cleared from concussion protocol or not.

MSU also getting grad transfer QB Anthony Rizzo from Temple for next season.

Lombardi was benched several times this year. Lombardi ain't very good. He was tuckered out so to speak. MSU got an incoming transfer from Temple who is going to be the new starter.

Yep, Rocky was suddenly looking at the real likelihood of being 3rd string.

Barring injury or a total collapse in production, Eleby should know that he’s ‘the guy’ for three more years here.

And they signed Hampton Fay, who Tucker has been recruiting for years. Rocky saw the signs and it will be interested to see where he ends up.

Coastal Carolina makes sense.

Coastal's highly effective QB is only a redshirt frosh.

Lombardi will end up back at MSU as a TE when he figures out nobody in D1 wants him as a QB.

Not surprised. NIU plays @Michigan next September barring any COVID-19 changes. Would be awesome to see him beat there asses again.

If he's not a Pig10 QB, he probably is not a MAC QB, either.

RE: MSU QB Rocky Lombardi enters transfer portal...
Pretty interesting butterfly effect here revolving around a dozen pieces, including several of our current and former ones. Hopefully it's to our benefit in the end, because MSU got two of our pieces out of this.

Is it just me or should the biggest red flag for a struggling program be a daisy chain of QB transfers in this new free agency era? Have any schools in our quarterback league had sustained success with transfer QBs? The most feared MAC QBs are all home-grown, and usually start most of their careers.
