NORMAN — The message was simple and succinct.
“I have declared for the NFL Draft,” Kyler Murray tweeted at 2:23 Monday afternoon.
But the process has been anything but simple or succinct, and it's not over yet.
Though Murray has declared for the draft, his choice between baseball and football is not set in stone with ESPN's Adam Schefter reporting Murray intended to “follow his heart to the NFL.”
Murray's path to this decision began June 4, when the Oakland Athletics picked Murray No. 9 overall in the Major League Baseball Draft, surprising many who expected Murray to go later.
