Earlier this week, reigning Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray decided to dedicate his focus toward becoming an NFL quarterback, putting his MLB baseball contract with the Oakland Athletics on the backburner.
That decision came as a surprise to many. But don't count former North Texas wide receiver Jalen Guyton among the surprised.
"I've known for months now what his decision is going to be just because I know who he is," said Guyton, who played with Murray in high school at Allen. "I'm not surprised at all. Football is his passion.
"Just the amount of time I know that he's put into the game -- into his performance on the football field, how much he loves it, how much we used to talk about it together, it's just been a dream.
