NORMAN — In the aftermath of Oklahoma's 38-20 win over TCU on Nov. 11, many in the large group of recruits the Sooners brought in for the game waited to get their pictures taken with an Oklahoma quarterback.
Baker Mayfield, the presumptive Heisman Trophy winner and one of the most electric players in the sport?
No.
The recruits wanted a memento of their time spent in the presence of Kyler Murray, Mayfield's backup who is expected to compete for the starting job in 2018 when Mayfield is gone.
“What he did in his high school career there (in Texas) was pretty well-known and a lot of these players grew up watching him play, these guys we're recruiting now,” Sooners coach Lincoln Riley said last week.
