ALLEN TRANSFERRING FROM TEXAS A&M
Texas A&M quarterback Kyle Allen is transferring immediately.
The Aggies granted his release on Thursday. The school didn't say where Allen would be going.
The sophomore appeared in 10 games for the Aggies this season and threw for 2,210 yards with 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
A 6-foot-3, 210-pound sophomore, Allen arrived in College Station before the 2014 season as a highly regarded recruit. He was the No. 1-ranked pocket passer in the 2014 ESPN 300 and the nation's No. 35 overall recruit.
Allen won the starting job out of camp but was benched in favor of freshman Kyler Murray after throwing three interceptions, all of which were returned for touchdowns, in a loss to Alabama in October.
This season Murray is 72-of-121 passing (59.5 percent) for 686 yards, five touchdowns and seven interceptions and has rushed for 335 yards and a touchdown.
The Aggies will face Louisville in the Music City Bowl, Wednesday, December 30 at 6:00. The game can be heard on KWHI, beginning with the Aggie Pre-Game Show at 5:00.
