Tate earned all-state honors as a sophomore and junior and put up solid stats this past season: 2,387 yards and 21 touchdowns. Regarding his recruitment, he is wide open to all the schools that have offered, but has had specifically nice things to say about Oregon and Penn State. He plans to make a relatively early decision after taking unofficial visits over the summer. Tate has a terrific arm and is able to make big plays both through the air and on the ground. If I had to make a comparison, I'd say that he is the next Matt Grothe, only better. They are both fiery and energetic and possess all the intangibles college coaches desire. The downside with Forcier is his size. He's listed at 6'1", but still has some time to grow. Also, he tends to force throws into coverage and sometimes locks onto one receiver. Other than that, he's a terrific college prospect.</font></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>

Michigan's future at quarterback: Rich Rodriguez's 2009 targets | Detroit Free Press <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Tate Forcier: Ht: 6-foot-1 Wt: 195 lbs Forty: 4.55 secs GPA: 3.3 • Is the brother of Jason Forcier, one-time quarterback at Michigan who transferred to Stanford before last season. • Notable offers: Kansas, LSU, Oregon, Penn State, Virginia Tech • Four-star prospect and the No. 51 overall player in the 2009 class according to Rivals.com Bottom line: A pass-first QB, Forcier would be more in the mold of a Shaun King-type quarterback that Rodriguez has dealt with in the past. Some experts believe he’ll stay out west since both of his brothers quarterback Pac 10 schools, but he boasts an offer list of more than 25 schools spanning all over the country. Forcier originally intended to make a decision early on in the process, but he’s changed that plan and has pretty much accepted that his college choice won’t happen in the near future. "I'm going to be on a crash-course road trip during the summer, which I've already got kind of planned out,” he told BlueWhiteIllustrated.com last month. “We're going to hit conference-by-conference and see how that plays out."</div>
Paterno Talks PSU Football <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Paterno, per NCAA rules, is not allowed to discuss recruits until they have signed with Penn State next February.

QB top priority in 2009: Class could be successful if OSU adds depth | NewsOK.com <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Quarterback is the top priority. Zac Robinson has two years remaining. Alex Cate (sophomore) and Brandon Weeden (freshman) provide good depth at a position OSU hasn't always had depth. After Kody Spano ended up signing with Nebraska in January, it's essential the Cowboys sign a quarterback in the 2009 class. Other than long shot candidate Tate Forcier, a San Diego quarterback who holds offers from just about everyone, dual-threat quarterback Clayton Moore, from Louisville, Miss., is believed to be the only quarterback OSU has offered so far. But Gundy and co-offensive coordinator Gunter Brewer won't put all their eggs in one basket. Other quarterbacks believed to be on OSU's list include: Cody Green (Dayton, Texas), Tyler Tettleton (Norman North), Jacob Karam (Friendswood, Texas) and Byrce Petty (Midlothian, Texas).</div>
Scripps Ranch quarterback is letting his Web site do the talking | SignOnSanDiego.com <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Robert “Tate” Forcier has taken the scholarship game to a different level. The Scripps Ranch High quarterback and his family have created a Web site – QBforce.com – that includes scanned copies of offer letters Forcier has received from 23 college football programs. Forcier, nicknamed for the child prodigy in Jodie Foster's 1991 film “Little Man Tate,” said he has received a combined 34 written and verbal offers. Forcier said he hasn't decided what school he'll attend but plans to make a decision before the playoffs start in the fall. “That way I'm thinking about my team and not college football,” he said. The offer letters are filled with compliments from the coaches, along with what they expect of athletes joining their programs. “We believe you are a special athlete who has the ability to be one of the best football players in the country,” wrote Les Miles, coach of the national champion LSU Tigers. Later on, Miles wrote, “It is important to our program to have football players with high standards in the area of character, academics and competitiveness.” NCAA rules don't allow coaches to comment publicly on a recruit until he signs a national letter of intent, but Forcier said several coaches, including Stanford's Jim Harbaugh, have told him they like the Web site. Forcier said only Florida requested that its offer letter not be posted. QBforce.com includes video highlights, statistics and a résumé for Forcier, who estimates the Web site has received about 200,000 page views. “We check on it day to day, and there could be 36,000 in one week,” Forcier said. As a junior last season, Forcier passed for 2,387 yards and 21 touchdowns while rushing for 733 yards and six TDs. At 6 feet 1, 190 pounds, Forcier doesn't possess super size, but he's considered a strong, accurate passer whose mobility gives him big-play potential. Rivals.com rates Forcier as the No. 5 dual-threat quarterback in the nation.</div> Ridiculous.
