Michigan quarterback Tate Forcier, who lost his starting job to Denard Robinson a year after making the Big Ten All-Freshman team, transferred to Miami.
"Miami had the best opportunity," Forcier told ESPN. "There is so much positive energy around this program and I really want to be apart of it."
It's a significant pickup for first-year coach Al Golden, who failed to add a quarterback in this year's recruiting class.
Forcier will sit out 2011 then have two years of eligibility.
