The Texas A&M faithful have had one heck of a week. That started with the transfer of quarterback Kyle Allen.

That culminated Thursday with the transfer of Kyler Murray.

Now back in his home state at Scottsdale (Ariz.), Kyle Allen is working on his next step. A number of schools have made contact expressing interest. Allen was the No. 10 overall recruit in the 2014 class. A 5-star level player according to the 247Sports Composite.

Colorado State, Colorado, Nebraska, Syracuse, West Virginia, Houston, Oklahoma, Texas and UCF have reached out. Allen confirmed his release keeps him from transferring to any SEC programs or future opponents of Texas A&M.

With a host of schools coming for him, Allen noted four schools that have made him a priority.

"Colorado State, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Houston are the four I talk to the most," Allen said. "I don't want to call them my top four, but I'm going to look harder at the schools talking to me the most."

With his transfer handled and the dead period in swing, Allen said he's not able to visit any of the schools. As such he's doing his due diligence now hoping to be ready to enroll this Winter.

"I'm trying to talk to players and coaches as much as possible to get to know those schools. That's the best I can do and it's fine. I'm really just looking to see which team has the best situation for me and will help me with the best chance of winning. That's what is important to me."

Allen said he's not close to a decision, however the next three weeks will be critical in the process.

The former A&M quarterback had some parting words for the Texas A&M supporters.

"I hated leaving Texas A&M, I really did. It was such a great university and so many of my best friends are still there. I loved being there and hated to leave. But I look forward to the next chapter wherever that is."
