Kyler Murray, a redshirt junior, won the Heisman Trophy in his only season as the Oklahoma starting quarterback. He threw for 4,361 yards and 42 touchdowns while adding 1,005 yards and 12 scores on the ground.
This decision will likely impact his baseball future. The Oakland A’s drafted Kyler Murray in the first round of the Major League Baseball draft this past May and signed him to a $4 million rookie contract.
Rumblings about Kyler Murray entering the NFL draft started to gain steam after the conclusion of the Sooners’ season as several NFL teams expressed interest in drafting the two-sport star , possibly in the first round.
