College career
Texas A&M
2014
As a true freshman in 2014, Allen competed with Kenny Hill before the season for the starting quarterback position.[8] Hill would win the job with Allen appearing in games as a backup.[9] After the team lost three straight games in October, the competition was opened again prior to the game against Louisiana-Monroe, and Allen won the starting quarterback position.[10][11]
On September 14, 2014, he made his first appearance with the Aggies and threw 12/16 completions for 122-yards, 2 touchdowns, and an interception. The next week he took on #3 Auburn in Auburn, Alabama. He led the unranked Aggies past the Tigers while throwing for 277 yards and 4 touchdowns along with 1 interception in a 41–38 win, ending Auburn's chances of making the playoffs and putting A&M back in the Top 25.
Allen would finish the season with a 3–2 win-loss record, including a bowl win and its MVP award. He finished his freshman season with 118/192(61.5%) completions, 1,322 passing yards, 16 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions.
2015
Following the transfer of Kenny Hill to Texas Christian University, Allen was positioned to be the starter for the Aggies in 2015. On August 24 during the 2015 off-season, Allen was named the starting quarterback against Arizona State with competition from incoming freshman star Kyler Murray.
Texas A&M got off to a 5–0 start, as Allen led the SEC in passing efficiency. Then, against Alabama, he threw three interceptions that were returned for touchdowns in a 41–23 loss. During that game, on Oct 16, he had a 50 percent completion rate.[12] He went 12-for-34 passing (35.3 percent passing completion rate) for 88 yards in a 23–3 loss to Ole Miss on Oct. 24.[13] The Friday before the following game, head coach Kevin Sumlin named Kyler Murray the starter[14] and Allen started to practice with the third team.
Against Alabama, Allen said he suffered an AC sprain in his throwing shoulder but told the coaching staff he was well enough to face Ole Miss. Allen would then miss playing in the 35–28 win on Oct 31 against South Carolina and the Aggies loss to Auburn (26–10). Kyler Murray would start in both of those games and a home win over Western Carolina. Allen would return as the starter on Nov 21, a 25–0 win over Vanderbilt. He played his last game with the Aggies on November 28, 2015, completing 15/28 passes for 161-yards and a touchdown in a 7–19 loss to LSU. He finished his second year with completing 160/283 passes for 2,210-yards, 17 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. Allen also ran for 65 yards and 2 touchdowns.
On December 10, 2015, Allen announced he would be transferring from Texas A&M and then over two weeks later, the Aggies' other quarterback, Kyler Murray, announced he would be transferring.[15] This decision made him unavailable to play in the Aggies' Music City bowl game. Allen ended his Aggies career with 278 completions in 475 attempts (58.5%), 3,532 passing yards, 33 passing touchdowns, and 14 interceptions in 20 games.[16] It was announced on January 5, 2016, that Kyle Allen intended to transfer to the University of Houston.[17]
Houston
2016
Allen began classes at Houston on January 19, 2016, but was not eligible to play for the Cougars during the 2016 season due to NCAA transfer guidelines that require transfers to sit out a single year.[18]
2017
Allen began the 2017 season as the starting quarterback for the Houston Cougars. His first game was a 19–16 victory by the Cougars over the Arizona Wildcats on September 9, 2017.[19]
Allen then proceeds to be benched in favor of Kyle Postma during UH's third game Against Texas Tech after throwing 4 interceptions in 3 games. On January 11, 2018, Allen announced his decision to forgo his senior season and declare for the 2018 NFL Draft.[20]
