Michigan quarterback Steven Threet has decided to transfer, although he’s uncertain at this point what school he’s transferring to.
Threet said in a statement Monday he does not yet know where he will continue his college career.
School spokesman David Ablauf declined to comment.
Threet enrolled early at Georgia Tech in 2007 but transferred to Michigan before fall camp. After sitting out the 2007 season under NCAA rules, Threet started eight games for the Wolverines in 2008.
The 6-foot-6, 230-pounder from Adrian completed 102 of 210 passes for 1,105 yards and nine touchdowns last season.
Michigan had a 3-9 record in coach Rich Rodriguez’s first season, losing the most games in school history.
Michigan finished last in the Big Ten in passing efficiency and averaged just 143.2 passing yards per game last year, so it’s not like losing Threet is devastating news. But it does put pressure on Tate Forcier and Denard Robinson (the Wolverines’ quarterback recruits in 2009) to develop quickly as underclassmen. Both are duo-threat quarterbacks, with Forcier being the better passer and Robinson the better running.
Rich Rodriguez better work some magic this year or else UM fans could very well see a repeat of ’08.
