Aggies land QB Kyle Allen - SEC a big factor

Post by ponyinNC »

I guess this means more Texas QB's for us to recruit...but it's another reminder that Conference prestige matters in recruiting.

""It was a combination of a bunch of things," Allen said of why Texas A&M stood out in the end. "So many things were so great there. So many things made me feel comfortable."

One of those things was the fact that the Aggies play in the SEC.

"That played a big part," Allen said. "If you want to be the best, you have to compete against the best. A lot of quarterbacks come out of the Pac-12 and Big 12, where they throw the ball around, but they don't play against as good of defenses. A&M does the same thing those programs do on offense but they do it against the best defenses in the country. My dream is to someday become an NFL quarterback, and I want the best training and the best preparation for that. That's in the SEC."

Conference doesn't mean anything.

It's all about making bowl games.

Who needs Kyle Allen, we already have our Texas QB.
