Coaches Corner: QB's that Michigan is "possibly" looking at so far:

Donavan Tate:
Donavan is 6'3, 195lbs. from Cartersville, GA (Cartersville High School)

Strengths:
He is an excellent athlete and outstanding runner. Very quick and explosive and makes things happen in space. Nice package of size and movement ability. Good arm strength and throws a nice easy to handle pass and he is an average ball handler.

Needs Work:
He vacates pocket earlier then necessary. Does not step into his passes and throws with his whole arm. He needs to work on reading his fakes a touch longer. His accuracy also needs to be a touch finer. His passes are not always in best position to allow receiver to gain yards after catch.

Tate Forcier:
Tate is 6'1, 190lbs. from San Diego, CA (Scripps Ranch High School)

Strengths:
Throws a really nice ball that is easy to handle. Very good pocket presence and shows excellent patience in the pocket. Good ball handler and runner, who sets up and reads blocks very well, solid mechanics and quick release, and also shows ability to read coverage’s and can audible to hot receiver.

Needs Work:
Not real explosive or elusive and not as big physically as some of the other potential recruits. Also has habit of dropping ball while in pocket. Needs to force ball and keep it in better position to throw the ball.

Kevin Newsome:
Kevin is 6'3, 210lbs. from Chesapeake, VA (Western Branch High School)

Strengths:
Excellent combination of size and speed. Outstanding runner, who reads and sets up blocks like a running back, very explosive and dangerous in space, good arm and touch on his passes, and runs option well and reads it just as well.

Needs Work:
Has to watch his ball security, both when scrambling and when running the ball. Drops ball when in pocket, instead of forcing it up so it is easier to deliver and at times he has a hitch in his throwing motion.
