Heading into the 2017 season, Nick Starkel won the starting quarterback job for the Texas A&M Aggies. However, in the season opener against UCLA, he broke his leg and missed most of the rest of the year.

Meanwhile, Kellen Mond took over the starting job and hasn’t looked back. When Jimbo Fisher took over as head coach in 2018, Mond thrived.

Now that Mond has the starting job seemingly locked down, Starkel is the odd man out. As you can see below, he announced on Tuesday night that he was exploring transfer options:

In 2017, Starkel played in seven games, throwing for 1,793 yards, 14 touchdowns and six interceptions. In 2018, he appeared in four games, throwing for 169 yards and one score.

Where he ends up next remains to be seen, but this is a big blow to the Texas A&M quarterback room.
