Mallett Transfers

Michigan quarterback Ryan Mallett has decided to transfer. After speaking with his family and with new Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez, transferring was his best option he thought.

Mallett is a classic drop back passer; he has it all: size, big arm, accuracy, but one thing he lacks is a tremendous amount of mobility. He moves around alright in the pocket, but he would be utterly useless running any type of option. I think Mallett would have been fine at Michigan. A lot of teams run the spread without using running quarterbacks. For instance, Missouri, Texas Tech and Hawaii. True WVU was known for running a lot, but Rodriguez would have tailored his system for his players.

Mallett is leaning towards Texas A&M, Arkansas and UCLA. My best bet is he will end up in Los Angeles, and will have a fine college career, albeit not as fine of one as he would have had in Ann Arbor
