A former Texas A&M linebacker had plenty to say in response to former Aggies quarterback Kyle Allen’s remarks about the program on Tuesday.
Allen told CBS Sports’ Dennis Dodd that his decision to transfer from the school had a lot to do with a culture he says was enabled under Johnny Manziel, one that included several players who felt they could “do whatever the hell I want and win on Saturday.”
Sean Porter, who played with Manziel in College Station during the 2012 season before going on to the NFL, sent out a flurry of tweets in response to Allen.

"They could act like that & still win games". Act like what. WINNERS. Watch the tape. We didn't stumble into those wins. That's work & more.

Best facilities in the country + upgraded stadium. + Sumlin pulling in top recruits. Embrace that. Take ownership. Win.

The news regarding Allen’s transfer came back on Dec. 10. The team confirmed exactly one week later that QB Kyler Murray would also be transferring.
Allen landed at Houston, while Murray is at Oklahoma. Both players will have to sit out the 2016 season due to transfer rules.
