NEW YORK — Before he won the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night, Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray said he already felt like the president walking around the streets of the Big Apple.
But in a moment of reflection after being awarded the trophy, Murray recalled a time when he was feeling far from settled.
In the winter of 2015, a little more than three years before he sat in the PlayStation Theater and heard his name called as the winner of the award, Murray was struggling.
He sat in his room at Callaway Villas in College Station, Texas, contemplating his future.
