Quarterback Kyle Allen resurfaces with the Houston Cougars after beginning his career with the Texas A&M Aggies. He started 14 games in two seasons with the Aggies before deciding to transfer.

Allen’s decision to transfer came on the heels of what Allen dubbed “Johnny Manziel culture”. The “do whatever” attitude of players there had a lot to do with the departure of Allen and possibly freshman quarterback Kyler Murray.

Allen didn’t have a terrible time at A&M either. He threw for 3,532 passing yards, 33 passing touchdowns and 14 interceptions in two seasons with the Aggies.

The team went 8-5 in both of those seasons. Ironically, the team went 8-5 last season with graduate transfer Trevor Knight at quarterback.

Now, Allen looks for a fresh start at Houston with new head coach Charlie Whitehurst. He may have to compete for the starting quarterback job again but it could help that his competition isn’t mainly the SEC.
