An anonymous source told the paper that academics played a role in the move.

Forcier, a San Diego native, started all 12 games for Michigan in 2009 before being surpassed by Denard Robinson in 2010 and struggling in the classroom.

He backed up Robinson eight times that season, but was sent home from the Gator Bowl for being academically ineligible and left the program before Brady Hoke was hired on Jan. 12.

He was expected to be the starter next season for San Jose State.
