Has Urban Meyer potentially found his quarterback of the future at Ohio State or is it purely coincidental that former Texas A&M quarterback Kyle Allen watched the Buckeyes practice on Wednesday in prep for the Fiesta Bowl?

Can confirm that former A&M QB Kyle Allen was at Ohio State practice yesterday. Dead period so no contact with coaching staff. #OSU — Bill Greene (@BillBankGreene) December 31, 2015



Allen, an Arizona native and former five-star prospect, is looking for a place to land next season and has previously said he prefers a Power 5 program where he could come in and compete immediately for the starting job.

With Cardale Jones leaving for the NFL after the bowl game and J.T. Barrett being draft-eligible as a third-year sophomore, the timeframe works out for Allen who must take a redshirt year as a transfer in 2016. Barrett isn't expected to leave early, but would likely make the jump after his junior campaign.

The Buckeyes do not have a quarterback commit for 2016.

Fellow Aggies quarterback Kyler Murray, now at Oklahoma, followed Allen out the door earlier this month to pursue other options.
