Skipping his last year of eligibility to hire an agent and enter the draft....I'm sorry, what?
Did he even play this year for Cougar High?

wgas?
That's ballsy
Makes sense if he's just going to ride the bench next year, can't transfer again so might as well try to get drafted I guess
Wow. Wonder what would've happened if he stayed here?
Gig 'em.
Gig 'em.

We would have won more games.
If he has good workouts he'll probably be a late round pick, which is where he would probably be anyway after another season of college ball.
Another Tom Brady in the making? Has all world talent but gets beat out in college as starter. You never know...
This is surprising. There isn't much good film of him. Hell he lost the starting job at Houston this season.

I hope my sarcasm meter is broken
I'm not always the rah-rah type, but once an Ag, always an Ag. He may be immature, selfish, and/or entitled. He may just have been sold a bill of goods and could not deal with the realities that followed (splitting time with Kyler, transferring to play for Herman only to see him bail for t.u.) and that made him ineffective this past year. Now, he wants to just focus on his career and put his college time behind him.
None of us really know what happened with this kid. Still, he chose us in the beginning and, prodigal or not, he is still a son in the Aggie family. I wish him the best and hope he gets a chance to play pro (even if it is against Johnny in Canada).

Life's an endless party, not a punch card.

Brady backed up another NFL player in Brian Griese during their national championship season and started his last two years and won 10 games each season. Not quite the same as a backup at a AAC school.
But I do hope he impressed the scouts and gets an undrafted FA spot.
He has a shot if he corrects his long wind up. He has the arm talent.
Hahaha. His entire college resume consists of what? 7-8 games as a starter. This ought to be awesome. Good thing his parents are rich.
He should've gone to tceh.
Pats draft him in the 7th.

He won't get drafted. HTH. Best he could hope for is training camp.
He isn't and was never good. His two wins that Texags touts are wins over mediocre teams. STOP pretending like rankings at the time of the game means anything. That 6-7 Arizona State was not a ranked team and that 8-5 Auburn team wasn't #2. Those were meh wins by a bad QB.
I don't see why a team wouldn't give him a shot as a 7th round pick, there are a lot of NFL teams with bad options at qb on their rosters
I think you and HoustonAg are correct. Allen realizes he will not start next season and does not want to remain at UH. His options are now limited.Womackster said:amercer said:fighterbull said:

He tries the NFL as a free agent and then he can get on with his life.
I always wonder what could have been with him had we had a better coaching staff. No doubt he had talent, but I think he was the victim of the incompetency of Spav and Sumlin, especially confidence-wise. I don't really blame him for leaving. His ultimate goal was to make it to the NFL and I think he saw Houston under Herman as a better place to develop. Too bad that didn't work out for him either.
He couldn't cut it at UH. Not hating on the kid, but if he can't hack it in that conference he won't hack it anywhere.

Maybe graduating and doesn't want to go to grad school
... And Let us NEVER speak of him again.
hope he got a degree
It's not a bad move at all. If he impresses at the combine, he can leverage that into a six figure salary or higher. A nice option at age 21.
"Declaring for the 2018 NFL..."
Definitely not smart enough to graduate from here. Must have been a graded issue afterall.

Did he get his degree? I always remember his story as "How bad it had to be at Texas A&M to transfer to Cougar High to sit a year and knowing your coach won't be there while having PRO aspirations"
Nick Starkel is 100x's the passer Allen was, why are we talking about him?
I predict Nick will leave aggieland as the all-time leading passer!

He completed his undergrad early and had the option to play next season as a graduate transfer.Leander - Ag said:

Following the combine, he should be ranked between 15-20 for available QBs. He's staring at best a 6th Round YOLO or UFA and a minimum $7,200 a week if he makes the practice squad.
He won't be invited to the combine.Schrute Farms said:

If he were a grad transfer, he could. Apparently he loaded up on hours and could graduate. With the Kendal Briles hiring, the handwriting was on the wall that Kyle wouldn't be the starter. But I would have expected him to put out feelers about being a grad transfer. Maybe there were no takers??HoustonAg2106 said:
