When Kyler Murray was going through the recruiting process coming out of high school, it didn't take him long to settle on Texas A&M as his destination.
But Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury made it tough on him.
Murray said Monday that he developed a close relationship with Kingsbury during the recruiting process and nearly convinced Murray to go there instead of College Station.
“I was always a fan of him and what he can do,” Murray said.
Murray's Oklahoma team visits Texas Tech on Saturday (7 p.m., ABC).
Murray said Kingsbury's work with Johnny Manziel was part of the draw.
