As the recruiting dead period begins, one of the questions Michigan State fans have been routinely asking is who will be the quarterback in the 2020 class?

C.J. Stroud of Rancho Cucamonga (Calif.) is a candidate, and based on his showing in Dallas at the Elite 11, he would be an outstanding addition for the Spartans. Through three days of competition, 247Sports has had Stroud ranked in the top six out of 20 for all of those days. On Day Three, he was ranked No. 1 on the list of best quarterback performances.
