While Michigan State football is dealing with a current quarterback competition going into the fall, the staff is always looking to the future.<\/p>\n<p>According to 247Sports, MSU has extended scholarship offers to 16 different quarterback prospects in the 2024 class, but most of them at this point have already committed to a school. The newest player to receive a heralded offer from the Green and White is Miles O&#8217;Neill.<\/p>\n<p>O&#8217;Neill is a 6-foot-5, 220-pound prospect from Hun School in Princeton, N.J. At the time of this writing, O&#8217;Neill has racked up offers from MSU, Maryland, Virginia, Boston College, Connecticut, Fordham, Temple, and some Ivy League schools. O&#8217;Neill is also unranked according to all major recruiting sites (at this time).<\/p>\n<p>Off of that information alone, this offer can be a bit of a head-scratcher.<\/p>\n<p>That is until you take a look at his highlight tape.<\/p>\n<h3>Roll the tape<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Check out the arm on MSU\u2019s newest QB offer, 2024 NJ product Miles O\u2019Neill.<\/p>\n<p>Before Jay Johnson, Jake Reiling, and the staff found &amp; offered him today, his best offers were Temple, UConn, and several Ivy League schools.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s 6-foot-5, 220lb | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MilesONeill_12?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MilesONeill_12<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UIBpOFwYXS\">pic.twitter.com\/UIBpOFwYXS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; SpartanTailgate.com (@SpartanTailgate) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SpartanTailgate\/status\/1655723040162938882?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 8, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the first clip, O&#8217;Neill takes a big drop in the pocket before his protection eventually collapses. He does a good job of staying calm and stepping up and keeping his eyes downfield. He didn&#8217;t panic. O&#8217;Neill throws an absolute bomb a little over 40 yards into the endzone. While being drilled by not one, but two defenders. Touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>In the next clip, O&#8217;Neill shows off his cannon again. He has all day to throw and eventually makes the about 50-yard throw to the back corner of the endzone. Perfectly placed into his receiver&#8217;s hands. The most impressive part about this throw? The power behind the ball. O&#8217;Neill put enough zip on the pass that it traveled nearly 50 yards in about three seconds. Any slower and the defender probably has a chance to make a play.<\/p>\n<p>The kid has an arm.
