Ex-Michigan QB Tate Forcier contacted the Warriors about transferring to UH

HSA Note: "According to people familiar with the situation, UH received a three-page letter from Forcier, including a copy of his scholarship release from Michigan, where he played the past two seasons."


HSA Note: "Earlier this year, Michigan officials announced that Forcier was no longer with the football program. He finished his Wolverines career with 2,647 passing yards, 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 20 games. In February, he announced he would sign an aid agreement with Miami. But he never enrolled there, and recently told media outlets he was seeking to transfer to a school near his family's home in San Diego.

If Forcier transfers to an FBS school, he must sit out this coming season. He then would be eligible to play during the 2012 and 2013 seasons. Earlier this year, Wyoming quarterback Austyn Carta-Samuels — the Mountain West's freshman of the year in 2009 — explored the possibility of transferring to UH. But the Warriors decided not to pursue Carta-Samuels, who will play for Vanderbilt."


HSA Note: "David Graves, Cayman Shutter, Corey Nielsen and Kevin Spain are the other returning quarterbacks. Jeremy Higgins has transferred from Utah State, and received medical clearance Tuesday to participate in the Warriors' offseason program. Higgins must sit out this season in accordance with NCAA transfer rules."


About their 2011 roster, Mack said:
"I think this is probably the fastest and smartest team we've had — which are two really important ingredients to have in a successful team. We're getting close to where we want to be." (HSA)
