MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) -- Quarterback Allen Webb, who was expected to battle for the starting job at Kansas State entering fall practice, has decided to transfer.
Webb said in a release to The Wichita Eagle on Wednesday that he will enroll at Texas College in Tyler, Texas, an NAIA school where he will be immediately eligible.
Kansas State sports information director Garry Bowman told The Associated Press on Thursday that he was unaware that Webb had decided to transfer. Efforts to reach Texas College coach Jay Brown were unsuccessful.
Webb began his career at Indiana before transferring to Kansas State in 2003. NCAA transfer rules would have prevented him from attending another Division I school without forfeiting a year of eligibility -- his only year remaining.
Webb's status had been in question since the spring, when he missed the start of practice for undisclosed reasons. In his release, Webb said, "I understand the message being given to me."
The 6-foot-3, 210-pound quarterback returned to practice and completed 5-of-6 passes in the spring game, leading his side to two scores. He was among five quarterbacks who coach Ron Prince said would compete for the starting job.
But in April, redshirt freshman Kevin Lopina announced he was transferring, eventually settling on Washington State. Webb's defection leaves senior Dylan Meier and sophomore Allan Evridge -- both with starting experience -- to battle freshman Josh Freeman for the position.
A Denver native, Webb started in 10 games over the past two seasons, completing 111 of 199 passes for 1,371 yards and 12 touchdowns. Last season, he was 4-1 as a starter but gave Kansas State fans hope for this season when he led the Wildcats to a 36-28 comeback victory over Missouri in the season finale.
"As I leave K-State, I want to thank my teammates and wish them well this season," Webb said in the release. "But most of all, I want to thank the fans for their support during my highs and lows, specifically those who encouraged me after this year's spring game and made me feel welcomed at the university."
