In the wake of an electrifying victory for the Oklahoma Sooners, former quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray took to social media to share an emotional message, reminding fans of the deep bond that unites the program’s players and supporters.
“Oklahoma isn’t just a team,” Murray wrote. “It’s a big family.”
The statement resonated with Sooners fans, many of whom view the program as more than just football. Murray’s words served as a reminder of the pride and passion associated with Oklahoma’s rich tradition.
Murray, who played a pivotal role in the Sooners’ success during his time in Norman, has remained a vocal supporter of the team since his departure to the NFL. His tenure at OU, capped by a Heisman Trophy win in 2018 and a spot in the College Football Playoff, is etched in the hearts of fans.
The heartfelt message comes as the Sooners continue their push for playoff contention this season, rallying alumni and fans alike around the program. For many, Murray’s words were not just a reflection of the camaraderie within the team but a celebration of the enduring legacy that unites players across generations.
As Murray leads the Arizona Cardinals in the NFL, his continued support for Oklahoma reinforces the deep connections players maintain with their alma mater, further exemplifying the “big family” spirit that defines the Sooners.

Fans quickly took to social media to respond to Murray’s post, with messages like:
- “Once a Sooner, always a Sooner!”
