Texas A&M Football Recruiting
Kyler Murray on recruiting, Kyle Field, The Opening & more
Quotes from Kyler Murray interview
"The summer started off with baseball and then I had to shut down baseball and get back ready for football and The Opening and coming back home. Then I had 7-on-7 in College Station and now back working out with the team."
"The best of The Opening part of it for me was to chill with the guys. Making bonds with guys I might be playing with in college."
"[The guys from The Opening] have been keeping up with each other. The type of things we were doing in Oregon was stuff we look forward to hopefully doing together in college."
"I have a chance to do something that no one has ever done in Texas (winning three state titles and going undefeated as a starting QB). I’m taking it one day at a time. Just being able to three-peat with my team and hopefully go undefeated, maybe not, but I don’t think we’re going to lose. Just to be able to do something no one has ever done in Texas is a big deal. I’m looking forward to it."
"I wouldn’t say there is pressure (to stay undefeated). A lot of guys are looking at me now because I’m a senior. Two years ago I was the young guy on the team, but I was still a leader. But I definitely know people are watching all the time so the focus and the want to has to be there. People are watching so I know what I have to do."
"I can’t wait (to step into the new Kyle Field). I’m glad my class will be the first one to actually experience it being fully done. Seeing the locker room and all the good stuff, I’m glad I’ll be able to play in that nice of a stadium. "
"I thought about Kyle Field in the recruiting process. I can only imagine how crazy the 12th man would be if I took the first snap in 2015. I can’t wait for that day."
"I think (commiting) was really important. I had guys like Kimah Siverand hit me up the day before saying 'If you’re going to A&M I’m going to follow you.' I think it has been a big part of our recruiting class. Me and Daylon have done a good job and we’ll just keep going."
"There are a lot of things the A&M coaching staff does that are great. But that first year with Johnny and Coach Kliff (Kingsbury), Coach Beaty these new coaches and now Coach Spavital replacing Kliff, they're bringing in stuff that is new. They know what kids like, what kids want. The main thing is winning; all these gadgets and things are great but have to win."
"I kind of hooked (being on a team with Christian Kirk at The Opening) one up. I really wanted that one for sure. It was great, I wanted to be on Christian’s team so we could build the relationship. Whenever we had down time we were all in a room together. It’s good to build that bond and chemistry and throw the ball around."
"It is definitely a new feeling. I was telling mom, 'If I had gone to Oregon I probably wouldn’t be (At the Dallas A&M Club)'. Just being there, it is a good feeling knowing I’m going to A&M and these are the people that will be supporting me. I know the 12th man is going to show a lot of love.
"People say a lot of weight will be off your shoulders when you commit. I didn’t really feel all that pressure but once I announced it, I did feel a lot more free and relaxed. It’s nice to know I’m going to represent a school like A&M. It’s going to be fun."
"I’d never seen Justin Dunning play in person, he definitely impressed me. It was like when the ball was in the air, he was going to go get it. It didn’t matter who it was thrown to, who he was going against, he was getting it. Those are the types of guys you want on defense. 6’4, runs a 4.4, He’s going to be a good one."
"My uncle and my dad always go over (baseball) things. It’s good having them because they have been there done that and know what they’re talking about. I don’t know if I’m going to graduate early but I’ve got baseball scouts hitting me up. I don’t know if I’ll be playing baseball my senior year, so I guess it depends on how much money they’re throwing at me."
