A’s top draft pick Kyler Murray seeks QB job at Oklahoma

NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray insists he hasn’t changed, yet there are constant reminders that his life will never be the same.

Before June, he was merely a gifted two-sport college athlete. But once the A’s took him with the ninth overall pick in the Major League Baseball draft and signed him for nearly $5million , a new level of fame followed. Murray, who plays center field, and the A’s agreed that he would come back to Oklahoma and play football, meaning he would return to campus making money on par with football coach Lincoln Riley.

The Sooners have enjoyed teasing Murray about his newly found wealth.
