Michigan State football quickly changed course from signing prep prospects Wednesday to diving head-first into the transfer market to find another quarterback.

Temple's Anthony Russo announced via Twitter he will become a Spartan as a graduate transfer. He joins the 2021 class with incoming freshman Hamp Fay, a three-star high school recruit from Texas who coach Mel Tucker said will enroll in January.
