Kyler Murray has made his choice.
The Heisman winner tweeted Monday that he will be playing football over baseball, making him an intriguing quarterback prospect in April’s draft. The Oklahoma star could be the second quarterback taken after Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins.
It is a devastating blow for the A’s, who drafted Murray as an outfielder with the ninth pick of the 2018 MLB draft.
“Moving forward, I am firmly and fully committing my life and time to becoming an NFL quarterback,” the 21-year-old wrote.
It was originally believed that Murray would play one year of quarterback for the Sooners before embarking on his MLB career.
