High school career

He missed one start during this streak and finished his career with a perfect 42–0 record as a starting quarterback.[3]

Murray was ranked by Rivals.com and Scout.com as a four-star recruit and the best dual-threat quarterback in his class.[4][5] In May 2014, he committed to Texas A&M University to play college football and college baseball.[6][7][8] He officially signed with them on February 4, 2015.[9]

Murray also plays baseball and was considered one of the top prospects for the 2015 Major League Baseball draft. In high school, Murray was a shortstop and a second baseman. He was the first player to ever be selected for both the Under Armour All-America Baseball and Football games.[10][11] Murray opted out of the MLB draft after deciding to attend Texas A&M.[8] He was initially set to play as an infielder for the Texas A&M Aggies baseball team in the 2016 season until he announced his departure from Texas A&M on December 17, 2015.[12]

As a true freshman in 2015, Murray competed with Kyle Allen before the season for the starting quarterback position.[14] Allen would win the job with Murray appearing in games as a backup (primarily on plays involving the wildcat formation).[15] After the team lost two straight games in October, the competition was opened again prior to the game against South Carolina, and Murray won the starting quarterback position.[16] In his first start Murray threw for 223 yards and rushed for 156 yards with a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown, making him and Cam Newton the only SEC quarterbacks in the past 20 years to gain over 100 yards passing and rushing, including a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown in their first career start.[17] On December 24, 2015, Murray announced that he was transferring to University of Oklahoma. He will sit out the 2016 season per NCAA transfer rules.[18]
