TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -Former Michigan quarterback Steven Threet plans to transfer to Arizona State, according to a person familiar with Threet’s decision who requested anonymity because the details are still being worked out.
The 6-foot-6 Threet would sit out the 2009 season and have two years of eligibility remaining.
Threet started his college career at Georgia Tech before transferring to Michigan. A pocket passer who was recruited by former Wolverines coach Lloyd Carr, Threet seemed a poor fit with Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez’s offense, which favors mobile quarterbacks.
Still, Threet started eight games as a redshirt freshman last year, passing for 1,105 yards and nine touchdowns with seven interceptions. ESPN.com first reported Threet’s decision.
Arizona State has three quarterbacks on scholarship – senior Danny Sullivan, sophomore Samson Szakacsy and freshman Brock Osweiler. Jack Elway, son of NFL Hall of Famer John Elway, has quit football and Chasen Stangel is leaving the program.
