RUMORS: MURRAY CONSIDERS TRANSFERRING
Rumors are running rampant that Aggies’ freshman quarterback Kyler Murray is seriously contemplating transferring.
According to numerous media outlets, Murray missed the Aggies' practice on Wednesday for what Coach Kevin Sumlin called "personal things."
Murray, along with his father, Kevin, met with Sumlin twice in the last two days, and was sent home by Sumlin before Wednesday's practice.
When asked if Murray is considering a transfer, Sumlin told reporters, "I don't know what he's considering. We had a discussion about all kinds of things.”
Sumlin said Wednesday, he expects Murray to be back Thursday, “I told him to stay home today, and we'll talk tomorrow."
When asked if he expects Murray to start the Music City Bowl, in which the Aggies will face Louisville on Dec. 30, Sumlin said, "Yes, I do."
Murray was the No. 1 quarterback recruit in the 2015 ESPN 300. He started three games this season but spent the last two games of the regular season on the bench behind Kyle Allen and sophomore Jake Hubenak.
Allen, the No. 1-ranked pocket passer in the 2014 recruiting class, announced his intention to transfer out of the program Dec. 10.
The Aggies, who started the season 5-0, lost four of their final seven regular-season games and finished the season tied for fourth in the SEC West.
