Kyler Murray says he is committed to playing football for Oklahoma this season even after becoming a top-10 pick in the Major League Baseball draft. On a conference call with reporters Monday night, Murray initially put off questions about whether he would give up college football for pro baseball. But when asked again about the coming football season, Murray said he had informed the Athletics that baseball would have to wait. "I will be playing football this season," Murray said. Oklahoma football coach Lincoln Riley declined to name a starter after spring practice, when Murray competed with sophomore Austin Kendall.
