This year’s MLB Draft helped spur a quarterback controversy in College Station.

Kyler Murray, the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback prospect in the Class of 2015, chose to forgo the draft in order to pursue college football at Texas A&M. The 5-foot-11 Murray was the first player in the country to be selected to Under Armour’s baseball and football All-American games.

But the Aggies already have a former five-star quarterback in Kyle Allen, a sophomore who showed flashes of brilliance as a true freshman in 2014.

With 2014 opening-game starter Kenny Hill transferring to TCU, Murray or Allen will be the Aggies’ quarterback of the future.

Here’s what you need to know about their competition:

IT’S STILL UP IN THE AIR

Allen’s play last season shouldn’t lead to a quarterback competition, and he’ll start August camp getting the majority of first-team snaps. Most expect Allen to retain the job and enter the Sept. 5 game vs. Arizona State as the team’s starter.

But Murray is such a rare talent that debate between the two has been going on for months.

Coach Kevin Sumlin also didn’t select Allen to attend SEC Media Days in July, a somewhat rare move for a team with an established quarterback. (The three linemen he did take have served as unofficial media spokesmen for the players for some time.)

And don’t forget Sumlin starting a dual-threat freshman (albeit a redshirt) in 2012 who went on to win the Heisman. What was his name again?

SUMLIN IS OPEN TO PLAYING BOTH

While it would seem odd splitting time with quarterbacks so young, Murray’s and Allen’s skill sets complement each other nicely.

At 6-foot-3, Allen has the prototypical build of a pocket passer. Murray is shorter, lighter and quicker.

Whether it be switching off drives or playing together in select sets, a Murray-Allen combo instantly becomes one of the scariest and creative options in the SEC.

Sumlin even seems open to playing both.

“We’ve never started out that way,” Sumlin told the Dallas Morning News. “That doesn’t mean that won’t work.”

In originally picking Hill over Allen last season, Sumlin signaled his desire to gain rushing yards from the quarterback position. While Murray may not overtake Allen in a similar fashion so soon, the dual-threat QB could earn playing time by becoming an off-the-bench running option.

AGGIES NEED LEADERSHIP

One would think Allen’s experience would be a clear advantage in the leadership department, but that’s not necessarily the case.

Murray won three Texas State Championships at Allen High School, never losing a game as a starter.

He also bleeds maroon and white; his father, Kevin Murray, quarterbacked the Aggies in the 1980s.

Allen’s MVP performance in the Liberty Bowl, though, created a lasting impression on his Texas A&M teammates. He helped rescue Texas A&M’s season after Hill’s suspension while distributing the ball to key playmakers. Sumlin should feel comfortable having Allen build off his strong finish in 2014 and lead the Aggies this season.

Whomever becomes the Aggies’ primary quarterback this season will be spoiled with opportunity. Sophomore Speedy Noil is Texas A&M’s most dynamics receiver since Mike Evans, while returning starters Josh Reynolds and Ricky Seals-Jones are proven targets.

In either Allen and Murray, Texas A&M will have a quarterback who can put up big numbers in its Air Raid offense.
