And then there were two. Kyler Murray’s options are down to the NFL or the Oakland Athletics’ organization. Murray declared for the NFL Draft on Monday, meaning he’s ineligible to return to OU, so long as he doesn’t change his mind before Thursday.
No one really believed Murray was considering another Sooner season. That was fantasy land for Lincoln Riley, Gil Brandt, OU fans and a Big 12 Conference that has prospered immeasurably by four straight years of Baker Mayfield/Murray quarterbacking.
The real decision comes now. Pro baseball or pro football? Most people believe Murray is swaying toward football, and that certainly seems the case.
