Early life and high school career
Early life
Noah Kim was born on December 3, 2001, in Centreville, Virginia.[7] He grew up in a Korean-American household in the Northern Virginia area.[8] Kim's parents are Tae Kim and Tina Kim, with his father of Korean descent.[8][7] Public details about his family remain limited, though Kim is the oldest of three siblings, including a younger brother and sister.[9] Kim developed an early interest in football through local youth programs in Northern Virginia, honing his skills at the quarterback position before transitioning to high school football at Westfield High School.[7]High school career
Noah Kim attended Westfield High School in Chantilly, Virginia, graduating in the class of 2020. As a three-year starter at quarterback from his sophomore to senior years (2017–2019), Kim led the Bulldogs to an impressive 41–2 overall record, establishing himself as one of the top signal-callers in Virginia high school football.[3][10][11] Over his high school career, Kim compiled 6,756 passing yards and 87 passing touchdowns while adding 1,056 rushing yards and 23 rushing touchdowns, showcasing his dual-threat capabilities.[3][10] In his sophomore season of 2017, he guided Westfield to a perfect 15–0 record and the Virginia Class 6 state championship—the school's third consecutive title—where he passed for 2,339 yards and 29 touchdowns while scoring 12 rushing touchdowns.[3][2] The following year in 2018, Kim's performance was cut short by a broken femur in the state semifinals, resulting in a loss that ended the team's playoff run.[12] He rebounded strongly as a senior in 2019, throwing for 2,442 yards and 30 touchdowns with 276 rushing yards and 7 scores, leading Westfield to a 13–1 finish and another semifinal appearance.[3] His efforts earned him Concorde District Offensive Player of the Year honors and first-team All-Northern Region recognition.[3] Despite his on-field success, Kim's frame—measuring 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) and 185 lb (84 kg)—drew limited early interest from major Division I programs.[13] Ranked as a three-star recruit and the No. 2 pro-style quarterback in Virginia by outlets like Rivals and ESPN, he held scholarship offers from Virginia Tech, Western Michigan, and William & Mary before receiving one from Michigan State in October 2019.[14][15] Kim committed to the Spartans shortly after, signing his National Letter of Intent in December 2019 as their sole quarterback in the 2020 recruiting class.[7][16]College career
Michigan State
Noah Kim joined Michigan State University as part of the 2020 recruiting class, committing as a three-star pro-style quarterback from Westfield High School in Chantilly, Virginia.[17] He enrolled in June 2020 and redshirted the season, a decision influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic's disruptions to college football schedules and eligibility rules.[3] Wearing jersey number 14, Kim remained on the roster as a backup during his redshirt freshman year in 2021 but did not see any game action.[10][18] As a redshirt sophomore in 2022, Kim made his collegiate debut, appearing in four games in relief roles for a total of 38 snaps.[10] He completed 14 of 19 passes for 174 yards and three touchdowns, with no interceptions, earning his first varsity letter.[4] These limited appearances came against Ohio State, Minnesota, Akron, and Western Michigan, showcasing his potential as a reserve behind starter Payton Thorne.[10] Entering the 2023 season as a redshirt junior, Kim won the starting quarterback job during fall camp and led the Spartans for the first five games, posting a 2–3 record.[19] The team defeated Central Michigan and Richmond but lost to Washington, Maryland, and Iowa during his starts.[4] Kim completed 91 of 160 passes for 1,090 yards, six touchdowns, and six interceptions, while adding 53 rushing yards on 27 carries.[4] He was benched after the Week 5 loss to Iowa in favor of freshman Sam Leavitt and did not play in the remaining seven games due to injury and coaching decisions.[3] After accumulating just nine total games of experience over two active seasons at Michigan State, Kim entered the NCAA transfer portal on November 28, 2023.[20]Coastal Carolina
Following his entry into the NCAA transfer portal on November 28, 2023, Noah Kim committed to Coastal Carolina University on December 12, 2023, as a redshirt junior with two years of eligibility remaining.[21][22] At Coastal Carolina, he wore jersey number 10 and joined a quarterback room led by incumbent starter Ethan Vasko, who had experience from the prior season.[3][23] During the 2024 season in the Sun Belt Conference, Kim served primarily as the backup quarterback, appearing in seven games without securing a start.[4] He completed 30 of 56 passes for 333 yards, with 4 touchdowns and 1 interception, averaging 5.9 yards per attempt and posting a 123.5 passer rating in limited action.[4][24] His opportunities were constrained by Vasko's consistent performance, as Coastal Carolina finished the regular season 6-6 and qualified for the Myrtle Beach Bowl, where Kim did not play.[25] On December 2, 2024, Kim re-entered the transfer portal as a senior, seeking a program where he could compete for more significant playing time after his backup role at Coastal Carolina.[22]Eastern Michigan
Noah Kim transferred to Eastern Michigan University on January 5, 2025, after entering the NCAA transfer portal following his time at Coastal Carolina, marking his return to in-state competition in the Mid-American Conference (MAC).[26] As a graduate student, Kim joined the Eagles' quarterback room to address needs for experienced leadership, having previously sought expanded opportunities at prior programs.[19] He was issued jersey number 1 for the 2025 season.[2] During the 2025 season, Kim established himself as the primary starting quarterback for Eastern Michigan, appearing in all 12 games and demonstrating improved efficiency compared to his limited backup roles in previous seasons.[27] He completed 247 of 402 passes for 2,817 yards with 18 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, leading the MAC in passing yards and averaging 234.8 yards per game while contributing to key performances, including a 210-yard, one-touchdown outing in a 27-21 victory over Bowling Green on November 8.[28][4][5] On the ground, Kim added mobility to the offense, rushing for 186 yards and 6 touchdowns on 79 carries, such as a 14-yard score against Central Michigan in Week 4.[29][4] His dual-threat presence helped stabilize the Eagles' attack amid team transitions, with a passer rating of 129.6.[4] Following the 2025 season, Kim was granted an NCAA waiver for a sixth year of eligibility and will return to Eastern Michigan for the 2026 season.[6] This return sets up a matchup against his former team, Michigan State, which will also host former Spartan starting quarterbacks Katin Houser of Illinois and Aidan Chiles of Northwestern in 2026.[30] Kim's performance has positioned him for potential evaluation in the 2027 NFL Draft process following the conclusion of the 2026 campaign, leveraging his experience across multiple programs to showcase growth in accuracy and decision-making.[22]Statistics
