Oklahoma completes trade of Trevor Knight to Texas A&M for Kyler Murray, pretty much

League transactions wire: In exchange, kind of, for former Texas A&M five-star quarterback Kyler Murray, who announced on Christmas Eve that he’d be transferring to Oklahoma, the Aggies will receive former Sugar Bowl-winning quarterback Trevor Knight from the Sooners. No draft picks or cash considerations were reported to have been included by either general manager, so to speak.

Knight will be eligible to start for A&M as a redshirt senior in 2016, giving him one more chance to reach the heights of 2013. Injury and some poor play combined to open the job for Baker Mayfield, who led OU to a Playoff spot. The Aggies also have to hire an offensive coordinator.

But we’re talking about the QB who once got propositioned on air by Katy Perry; this young man can achieve anything. And he’s 1-0 against Bama.
