ICYMI: Kyler Murray Reaffirms Commitment To Play For A’s

Before University of Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray was setting college football ablaze, the Oakland A’s selected him with the ninth overall selection in June’s MLB Draft.

Since then, Murray has jumped into Heisman consideration with an outstanding junior season campaign with the Sooners. Posting ridiculous numbers and highlight plays on a weekly basis, Murray has etched himself as one of the most exciting players in the nation.

As his stardom has risen, so have questions about his future.

Kyler Murray says he thinks he could play in the NFL (I agree). But giving up football to move on with baseball after this season “is still the plan."

As a quarterback, Murray has passed for 3,674 yards and 37 touchdowns.

In baseball as an outfielder, Murray holds a .296 batting average with 10 home runs and 47 runs batted in.
