Coach Choate on Murray: “Chris Murray is a 6-foot-4, 195-pound kid who is developing as a passer but not as an athlete. This guy can fly. When Coach Messingham gets a chance to be around him, he will do a good job of developing him as a thrower but you can’t coach the speed this guy has. He creates with his feet outside the pocket as well as his arm.”
Story on Murray’s commitment: Coming soon.
