Kyler Murray announced Monday he will enter the 2019 NFL draft ahead of Monday's deadline amid discussions about a potential future in professional baseball in the Oakland Athletics organization.
Murray made the announcement a day after he met with Athletics president Billy Beane and others as they hoped to keep the former Oklahoma quarterback in the fold, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
Adam Schefter of ESPN noted that Murray can still play baseball, but is "determined to play football."
The 21-year-old took over as the starting quarterback for the Sooners' football team in 2018 after Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield was selected No.
