The reigning Heisman Trophy winner missed his media obligations on Wednesday due to illness but the Sooner quarterback made it out for Oklahoma’s second day of interviews on Thursday.

While Kyler Murray’s media session began with questions regarding his status for the game, he says he’s fine and will play in the upcoming Orange Bowl against Alabama, the questions quickly turned to his pending future.

If you were unaware, Murray was drafted in the first round of the Major League Baseball draft by the A’s and signed a lucrative deal with the franchise. Now that he’s put a remarkable season of film on tape for NFL scouts, many are suggesting Murray could be a top quarterback prospect should he chose to pursue an NFL career instead of playing baseball.

During his most recent media session, Murray was largely noncommittal about his future and attempted to stay focused on the upcoming task at hand — facing Alabama’s defense on Saturday.

“Right now obviously I’m going to play baseball, but I’m not focused on any of that right now,” Murray said. “My main focus is Saturday, getting ready to play this game. Obviously, I’ve always been — it’s never bad to have options, but yeah, right now my main focus is this game.”

The Oklahoma quarterback was then asked if he’s thought about Saturday potentially being his last competitive football game.

“I try not to think about when my last game is going to be, whenever that is. I just go into every game as if it is the last,” Murray commented. “You never know when that’s going to be, so for me, I just go in as hard as possible and give it all to my boys and my teammates.”

The Heisman Trophy winner was then asked if he ever imagined facing questions regarding the NFL entering the season.

“No, I mean, obviously it wasn’t in the air, but I’ve always felt like I could play in the NFL. I’m a confident guy,” he answered. “There’s not a lot of short quarterbacks in the league, but I think there’s more guys paving the way for the transition of not really caring how big you are, how tall you are. But for me, I’ve played this game my whole life and I’ve always felt like I could do it.

Finally, Murray was asked if he believed signing with the A’s meant an end to any potential pursuit of playing in the NFL. Interestingly, Murray said that was not the case.

“I always felt like it might be, honestly,” Murray said. “That’s the thing is that’s like nobody — nobody expected any of this but me, the people that are closest to people. People have always known, people have always watched me play, whether it was football or baseball, nobody expected it, so now it’s kind of like what do you do? But for me, I’m just taking it one day at a time and doing what I’ve always done.”

For a guy focused solely on Saturday’s game against Alabama, Murray has clearly put much thought into potentially chasing his NFL dreams. Following his outstanding season for the Sooners, he may very well have the option of picking his future sport after all in the coming weeks.
