ESPN.com’s Joe Schad reports that former Michigan quarterback Steven Threet has decided to transfer to Arizona State.
Threet, a redshirt freshman, must sit out this season, but will have two years of eligibility beginning in 2010.
With the spring departures of Jack Elway and Chasen Stangel, the Sun Devils were down to three scholarship quarterbacks. Elway is staying at ASU as a student, while Stangel will transfer.
Threet threw for 1,105 yards with nine touchdowns and seven interceptions last year, completing 51 percent of his passes. He started eight games for the Wolverines.
At 6-foot-6 and 230 pounds, he was not an ideal fit for the spread option at Michigan. Threet originally signed with Georgia Tech out of high school, before transferring to Michigan.
Threet will likely compete with sophomore Samson Szakacsy and freshman Brock Osweiler for starting duties in 2010.
Senior Danny Sullivan is currently No. 1 on the depth chart for the Sun Devils.
