Kyler Murray has elected to enter his name into the NFL draft, announcing the decision on Twitter.
The Oklahoma Sooners quarterback and reigning Heisman Trophy winner has given himself the option to choose the NFL over MLB, where he has a contract with the Oakland Athletics that includes a $4.66 million signing bonus.
A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Murray actually submitted the paperwork Friday.
The A's, who selected Murray with the ninth pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, understood and supported his decision to enter the NFL draft, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.
