Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin has a problem most programs would be quite envious of: the Aggies have a silly amount of talent at quarterback. Kenny Hill took over for Johnny Manziel to start 2014 and looked like a world-beater for a few weeks. Hill eventually lost his job to Kyle Allen, who was the No. 1 quarterback recruit in 2014.

While Allen certainly wasn’t perfect in his five starts to end the year, he showed more than enough promise to let Sumlin know the offense would be in good hands going forward.

What’s the quarterback situation going to look like for 2015?

2014 quarterback: Freshman Kyle Allen, 1,322 yards, 16 TD, 7 INT, 61.5 completion percentage

2015 favorite: Allen

Others involved: Kenny Hill, rising junior (2,649 yards, 23 TD, 8 INT, 66.5 completion percentage); Kyler Murray, incoming freshman

When it will be decided: Spring practice. Hill will presumably get one last chance to be A&M’s starting quarterback after two suspensions and losing his job to Allen, but at this point it’s Allen’s to lose. Since Murray, a five-star recruit, is not enrolling until the fall semester, it’ll be between Allen and Hill in spring practices. With the way Allen played in the bowl game, he clearly has a leg up on the situation. The question is what Hill would decide to do should he lose out on the job. With another five-star recruit on the way in, Hill would likely be the odd man out in a crowded field. We haven’t heard a peep from Hill since the Sean Salisbury business back in the fall, but reason stands that he would probably think about transferring if he can’t win back the starting position.

Level of concern (1-10): 3. Whether Allen or Hill ends up with the job, Texas A&M will be just fine. Of greater concern should be getting the offensive line back up to where it was in 2012 and 2013. However, if Hill does transfer, it would leave the Aggies a bit inexperienced at quarterback. Allen has all of five starts under his belt, and Murray would be coming in as a true freshman with just preseason practices to lean on. There isn’t a quarterback after Allen and Hill with any experience, which would present a problem in worst-case scenarios.

Biggest ally: Sumlin’s offense. Hill was leading the SEC in passing when he got benched, which says plenty about how effective Sumlin’s scheme is. With the most talented receiving corps in the conference, all Sumlin needs is a passer who can get the ball out quickly and throw relatively accurately downfield. As long as the offensive line isn’t a sieve, the Aggies should be at least dangerous on offense, if not downright potent.
