Texas A&M QB to transfer

Texas A&M quarterback Matt Joeckel is to transfer, the school said today.

He will eligible for the 2014 season immediately, as he has already graduated from College Station.

As a back-up for Johnny Manziel, Joeckel saw virtually no action for the Aggies, and with in-coming freshmen Kyle Allen and Kenny Hill obviously bigger frontrunners than Joeckel in the battle for the starting job, Joeckel judiciously saw it was time to leave.

Joeckel managed 27 throws, 335 yards and 2 TDs in a 2-year career for the Aggies.
