Michigan QB transfer is candidate for Stanford starting gig
Former Michigan QB Jason Forcier is a candidate for the Stanford starter job, according to the Stanford Daily newspaper. A highlight from the story:
Jason Forcier, Junior
A transfer from Michigan before the 2007 season, Forcier had to sit out last year due to NCAA rules but will have two years of athletic eligibility remaining starting this fall. Given Michigan’s reputation for churning out solid pro quarterbacks and (Jim) Harbaugh’s own roots at the university, Forcier has the background to make himself more than a mere dark-horse candidate for a starting role, and he has looked athletic and strong-armed in team workouts. Forcier left the Wolverines when he was beaten out by freshman Ryan Mallett for the backup role behind the since-departed Chad Henne. Ironically, Mallett left Michigan for Arkansas, which could have cleared the way for Forcier had he stayed.
