In the meantime, Murray has been preparing the Sooners defense by mimicking some of the top quarterbacks in the country on Oklahomas scout team.First, it was Houston dual-threat standout Greg Ward Jr.This week, it has been Ohio State Heisman hopeful J.T. Barrett.Kyler knows what his responsibility is, and, as a defense, he gives us great looks, whether its doing what the system tells him to do, running the zone-read, stuff like that, Sooners linebacker Jordan Evans said. But then, at the same time, he makes a lot of plays on his feet to keep us on our toes.Two years ago, Murray was one of the most accomplished high school quarterbacks ever to come out of the state of Texas. He was the Gatorade National Player of the Year at Allen High and ended his phenomenal prep career with three straight state championships, 10,386 yards passing, 4,129 yards rushing and 186 total touchdowns.Murray was the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback recruit in the country, and he was hotly pursued by Oklahoma and Texas. Ultimately, he signed with the Aggies. But when he elected to transfer, he quickly settled back on the Sooners.It was a no-brainer for me, Murray told ESPN.com in the spring. Just the trust I had in [coach Bobb Stoops and offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley], the stability here.dddddddddddd Coach Linc is one of, if not the best OC in the country. Then you look at the guys around you that youre playing with. We have all the talent in the world here.Among that talent corps is starting quarterback Baker Mayfield, who can serve as a model for Murray.Two years ago, Mayfield himself was running Oklahomas scout-team offense after transferring in from Texas Tech. The next season, Mayfield beat out incumbent Trevor Knight for the starting job, led the Sooners to the College Football Playoff and finished fourth in the Heisman voting.Kylers game is pretty similar to Baker, in that, when Baker was our scout-team quarterback, you saw stuff he did like, Whoa, this kid can play, Evans said. Its the same thing with Kyler. A lot of athleticism, strong arm. He looks like he can play.Murrays path back to the playing field could take longer than Mayfields did. This summer, the Big 12 granted Mayfield his fourth season of eligibility back, which means hell be back in Norman in 2017. Even after that, Murray will have to beat out former ESPN 300 recruit Austin Kendall, a true freshman, who is the Sooners No. 2 quarterback.I think when my time comes well be ready, Murray said this spring.Until then, Murray will be channeling his energy into getting the defense ready for what it will see Saturday.Hes been doing a great job, Evans said. Im thankful we have him. ' ' '
