Oklahoma quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray was not available for Wednesday morning’s Orange Bowl media day. According to a team spokesperson, Murray reached out and informed the team that he was feeling under the weather.
Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray did not make it to media availability this morning. He communicated with OU officials he wasn’t feeling well. No one is alarmed at this point, as there’s a lack of specifics. But worth monitoring as week goes on.

It’s certainly something to keep an eye on ahead of Saturday’s game against Alabama. Oklahoma will need a fully healthy Kyler Murray to have any kind of shot at taking down the Crimson Tide.
It is possible that Murray just had a little bit too much eggnog and didn’t want to show up for media day hungover. I’m sure we’ll eventually find out what caused his illness.
