Drew Allen rumored to Transfer

[Boomer.....]

per James Hale

[badger]

He didn't play at all this season so I hope they were able to preserve this as an eligibility year. If not... this is a year too late, isn't it? Poor Drew. Looks like he has the unenviable position of being the ONLY OU quarterback not to transfer to not get a chance at starting :(

[jk the sooner fan]

writing on the wall has to be in pretty big letters i'm guessing

best of luck to the young man

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Yeah...With the quick rise of Thompson and Knight to go along with Bell, Allen was not going to be in the mix.

[SoonerMarkVA]

He didn't play at all this season so I hope they were able to preserve this as an eligibility year.

I think he already redshirted. So, unless he can pull off medical or something, he's down to a single year. Looks like he'll have to transfer down a division to play, which also will substantially boost his odds of starting.

[jk the sooner fan]

if Bomar can get drafted after a year at Sam Houston State - Allen probably thinks he has a shot as well

[sooneron]

He probably thinks he has a shot at starting if he watches about 1/3 of the nfl teams this year!

[colleyvillesooner]

Well, tools wise outta high school Bomar was the #1 QB. Allen was the #38 QB. Don't know how much that matters once in college but worth noting.

[Mjcpr]

Plus, we have a QB committed for the 2013 class don't we?

hey - when you're 20- you chase the dream

reality doesnt set in till you're close to 30 :D

[Curly Bill]

Normally I say p*ss on em when they transfer, but in this case I wish him luck. From what little I know seems like he did all the right things, didn't jump the gun and transfer at the first hint of competition, but just wasn't the guy chosen to see playing time.

I'd love to see him transfer to a D-II, start for them, get a shot on an NFL team, and make some money.

If Drew got his undergrad degree, which I believe he has already, then he could transfer to any D1 school that offers a graduate program OU doesn't and he would be eligible to play immediately. It's what Russell Wilson did last year.

If he graduates in spring, he could transfer to another D1 and be eligible right away. May be tough to get a starting gig though.

Yep, Cody Thomas. Could come in and at least make some noise...don't think he's really gonna take the starting job though.

Cool. I can't keep up with all the rules, obviously. That would be the "or something" part, it looks like.

Yes, but wouldn't be surprised if he goes and plays baseball. The guy's supposed to be really good.

He say's he's going to do both...but it's easy to say that while you're in high school, and you're the starter at QB. It might be a little different when there are 3 very talented guys ahead of you on the depth chart.

[Pooty Pootpoot]

A friend of mine that has two classes with Drew Allen said he saw Drew on a bicycle a few weeks ago and thinks that Drew is going pro and wants to ride in The Tour de France .. Which is a triathlon or a buss tour someplace in France.

DeLoss Dodds has just made a new Big Texas Conference rule:

QB transfers to the University of Texas will be given two years of immediate eligibility.

[Salt City Sooner]

He is good, but MLB wants him as a pitcher, & he's made it crystal clear that that's something he does NOT want to do.

[8timechamps]

BACK UP THE TRUCK...

Allen practiced with the team today, and no confirmation has been given that he is transferring. I know practicing with the team doesn't mean he won't transfer, so take that for what it's worth.

Sometimes I think James Hale considers his speculation as fact.

He might be in a position where he could. For 2 years, at least. Considering he's an auto red-shirt next fall anyway. Hard to get both sides (MLB org and OU) to agree to it though.

[badger]

I'm still waiting for ANYone else to report ANYthing on this... and unless Drew Allen is now an assistant coach at Southern Utah University (http://www.suunews.com/news/2012/dec/05/coaching-drew-allen-keeps-majeruss-legacy-rivalry-/), NOTHING!

I officially dislike transfer rumors more than coaching change rumors. At least the coaches are paid adults in this college football biz, but student athletes are still basically kids :mad:

[Ruf/Nek7]

My in-laws are actually really close to the Allen family as my brother in law played corner at Boerne Champion whom was a rival to Alamo Heights in the day. They had family friends that lived next door to Allen's family. With all of that being said, all i have ever heard is that Drew loves OU and never would be anywhere else. I, myself, thought he would have transferred last year to be apart of the new UTSA football program and once that passed I figured he would for sure graduate a Sooner. I would be absolutely shocked to hear he actually transferred.

I am also not bagging on your source/post, but I do recall quarterback Keith "Iceman" Nichol saying about the same things publicly up till he went back to Michigan State.

I also recall lamenting that we could used him at receiver back here if he was going to end up playing receiver up there anyway :(

[KantoSooner]

It's a tough thing. I respect Allen's decision and wish him nothing but the best. I never heard anything about him other than that he worked hard and kept his nose clean. Hope he catches some breaks and gets to chase his dream a little while longer.

No problem. All I can say here is Drew Allen is not Keith Nichol and Nichol transferred a lot earlier than Allen's supposed transfer.

While I don't wish for this to happen, if it turns out that Blake Bell can't pass, I could see Drew Allen filling the Landry role after Landry's gone, with Blake continuing to be Belldozer.

That's true - Nichol had two years to play at Meatchicken State, while Drew Allen (if I'm not mistaken) only has one year of eligibility left.

It's a very interesting situation, and probably tough on the guys. It would be one thing if you had unlimited eligibility and could just wait for your turn at being a four-year starter for when the previous four-year-starter leaves, but college ball isn't designed that way.

I guess it's possible Nichol could have cracked the WR last year, but had he not transferred he would have been out of eligibility anyway. Either way, I don't think he was good enough to contribute much at WR.

edit: and I just realized in that alternate universe, he's probably starting at QB in 2009 once Bradford goes down.

or more amusing irony, both guys he lost out on the starting QB gig to are NFL quarterbacks.

[cyclonesooner]

I used to coach in the same high school district that Drew Allen played in San Antonio. Good high school player. Physical QB with good running skills that threw the deep pass very well but threw too many interceptions. Never really felt he was OU worthy as a recruit. Nonetheless, Good Luck Drew.

[Soonerfan88]

I listen at work and never heard Hale say Allen was absolutely transferring, just that he was exploring his options. I certainly wouldn't blame him for that since he probably wants to start at least one year. However, he also loves OU and may not go.

[Salt City Sooner]

OC Josh Heupel said today that QB Drew Allen has NOT raised to him the possibility of transferring

https://twitter.com/Jake_Trotter/status/281532379816927232

[8timechamps]

Added "rumored" to the title. Also, I'm pretty sure, at this point, that James Hale is clueless.

[cleller]

From what I can tell Allen has stuck with the program, done all that was asked of him, and never been out of line. Its a shame that some good players/good young men don't get to see the field, but that's the way it goes.

If he were to leave, I'd pull for him.

[PrideMom]

A diploma from OU is nothing to sneeze at. A free college education is hard to come by. Allen should talk to Grady that left OU, if he had stayed he might have replaced Bomar.....but Paul Thompson was a class act!!

[ashley]

Knight will be the starter next year. You wouldn't believe how high the coaches are on him.

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

[bluedogok]

If Drew got his undergrad degree, which I believe he has already, then he could transfer to any D1 school that offers a graduate program OU doesn't and he would be eligible to play immediately. It's what Russell Wilson did last year.

I hear Wisconsin takes on 5th year play-immediately quarterback transfers and I hear the Seahawks draft them :D
Would that move to Arkansas? Do the Hogs need a QB?

[Seamus]

Nope.

I lol'd at this.

[dennis580]

This is good news if true. Blake Bell absolutely must be the starter next year, and even the slightest threat to that needs to be eliminated. I am extremely excited about the Bell era; going to be a absolute nightmare for defenses.

Bell has way to much talent, and potential not to go with him. Bell must start.

If you're going to go purely on talent & potential, Eric Mitchel should've started over Jamelle Holieway. Personally (& nothing against Eric), I'm glad he didn't.

There are a lot of reports that Knight is tearing it up on the scout team. Not only coaches, but players have also been quoted as to their impressions of Knight.

I dont understand bro. If ya cant read it, How ya know what it says?

[70sooner]

http://newsok.com/oklahoma-football-quarterback-drew-allen-looking-to-transfer/article/3749004


NORMAN — Oklahoma backup quarterback Drew Allen was given permission to explore other opportunities, making it likely he'll play his senior season elsewhere, according to a source close to Allen.

Oklahoma football: Quarterback Drew Allen looking to transfer “He's looking around,” the source said.

An OU spokesman said Allen hasn't formally requested permission to contact other schools.

The news was first reported by SoonerScoop.com, the Rivals network site that covers OU.

Allen, who is on course to graduate in May but still has a year of eligibility remaining, could transfer to another Football Bowl Subdivision university and be immediately eligible.

Under certain circumstances, the NCAA doesn't require its usual one-year benching for transfers between FBS schools.

Blake Bell, a junior next season, supplanted Allen as Landry Jones' backup before the 2012 season. Since then, with Bell likely the favorite to start next season — plus the emergence of redshirt freshman Trevor Knight, who starred on the scout team — there has been speculation that Allen might transfer.

“The option's there,” Allen said during the week before Oklahoma's Jan. 4 Cotton Bowl loss to Texas A&M. “My goals and aspirations since I came to college were to play. I've always wanted to play here and have a significant role here and I'd love to do that.”

Allen didn't take a single snap during the 2012 season. During his sophomore season in 2011, Allen appeared in five games and completed nine of 16 passes for 71 yards.

[Boomer.....]

I dont understand bro. If ya cant read it, How ya know what it says?

Saw it posted on another board. The jist was that he's transferring after he graduates.

[badger]

Good luck Drew. Sorry it didn't work out here and hope it works out elsewhere.

[Soonerjeepman]

on espn there was an article about hypothetically allowing the Bg12 schools to "trade" players...it was a question posed by some reader. The ironic thing was they mention Allen to isu for their LBers...lol too bad we can't get our half of the deal.

Hope Drew has a great senior year wherever he ends up (I've heard Indiana). For three years he's sat on the sidelines and from all impressions, has been a great teammate. That's not easy for a lot of kids in his position. I'm glad he wanted to be a Sooner and wish him nothing but the best for him.

[SoonerMarkVA]

Hope he doesn't transfer to sit on the bench of some other school for his senior year. As in, I hope he picks wisely if he chooses to transfer because I'd like to see him get that year of playing he deserves.

That makes sense with Wilson being there, his OC when he was recruited.

[Salt City Sooner]

If he's thinking IU, he just as well stay here, IMO. They led the Big 10 in passing last year (by a wide margin), & have all 3 of their QB's who played returning. At least here there's nobody experienced in the base offense in front of him.

I think the numbers Indiana put up were based on two things: 1. They're in the Big 10. 2. Kevin Wilson likes to throw the football. Indiana played all three QBs last season, because Wilson couldn't settle on who to play. He ended up with a Sophomore. I really don't know much more about the Hoosiers (and to be honest, not much about Allen's ability), but if he were to go there, I'm assuming it would be on the agreement that the competition is open (and I doubt Wilson would bring him there just to fill a back up spot). Still wouldn't be too surprised if he ended up at an FBS school.

[papawlambert]

Be tough for a program to use him for only one year. They will want to use the guys that will help them 2-4yrs.

[papawlambert]

froggle,
I didn't know that he was as good as Wilson. Wilson had a lot of experience at NC State before transferring. What experience does Allen bring to the table?

[birddog]

i'm still trying to grasp the idea of him not realizing this 2 yrs. ago. Drew, good luck to ya but shirley you saw what was progressing but chose to try to overcome the odds. that's commendable because you've been great in the classroom but if you wanted to do both, there are plenty of schools that would love to have you. didn't think you ever were too concerned with playing time but i'm glad you got to be on the OU campus for a few years. those are some good times. something sam houston state or wayne state can't offer.

[Fraggle145]

froggle,

He doesnt have to be. Any team that is in need of a new qb should be willing to give a developed senior prospect a shot. Especially if they are weak at the position.

If he went to Indiana - about 4 years of experience in roughly the same system that Wilson runs.
