That's the way Murray looked to me. Of course 2A in Georgia is pretty small enrollment schools, so he did play against some smaller competition.Give him a year or two to mature and he will be a contributor.Normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did come from a small school conference but those divisions have their athletes as well. I agree the depth is there and time to grow stronger as a redshirt is not a bad idea. I guess as the Bulls grow, redshirting will become common place. GO BULLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess as the Bulls grow, redshirting will become common place. GO BULLS!True, but think of the backfield that Murray has to stand around. Murray is around 5-10 205lbs, a big back by most HS standards, but when he's standing next to Ford who's 6-2 230lbs, Jamar Taylor who is 5-10 215lbs, Kelly who is 6ft 235, and Ben Williams who is 5-8 205lbs....Murray looks tiny.Holy smokes on the pic of Popek. I heard that he was massive but that picture really shows it. What's more amazing is they say he's got really good footwork, unfortunately it's such a learning curb at OT, but man when he 'gets it' with that body and size, and his footwork and quickness then look out. I see the big things that people told me about when we got him out of HS. A friend had told me that this guy was possibly a better OT, or they at least thought his potential could be as great as Patchen's at OT especially since Patchen has had this affinity for wanting to play DL.
