When Kyler Murray was selected with the No. 9 pick in June's MLB draft by the Oakland A's, he said his plan was to play one more season of football with Oklahoma before leaving the gridiron for the diamond.
Now, with a full regular season of being the Sooners' starting quarterback behind him, and the Big 12 Championship game and a potential College Football Playoff berth on the horizon, Murray said he will stick with his original arrangement.
According to ESPN’s Jake Trotter, Murray told reporters that leaving football to transition fully into baseball next year "is still the plan" even though Murray believes he could play in the NFL.
