Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray has reached a deal with the Oakland Athletics that will guarantee him close to $5 million and allow him to play for the Sooners this fall, according to a FRS Network report.
Murray was taken by the A's with the ninth overall pick Monday in baseball's amateur draft. He told Oakland officials on Monday night that he will put baseball off and honor his commitment to Oklahoma. He is an outfielder for the Sooners.
The slot value for the ninth pick in the draft is $4.7 million.
