Highlights of Clemson Commitment Myles Murphy

Myles Murphy of Hillgrove High School (Ga.) is one of the top defensive line prospects in the nation.

Hillgrove's (Ga.) Myles Murphy is listed 6'4 and 260 pounds give or take, and he looks every bit of it on the field. Typically a high school senior of that size would be slated for the defensive tackle position, but typical players of that size don't move the way Murphy does.

Murphy has a terrific change of first step and change of direction. He has a good motor and will chase a play from sideline to sideline and back, sometimes on the same play (see highlights).

Murphy has the size and athleticism to play multiple positions on the next level including any position in a front four or a defensive end in a 3-4. He prefers to use his quickness to beat his opponent, which is an amazing statement in itself for a player knocking on the door of 300 pounds, so he may be better suited to stay on the edge.

Murphy has been committed to the Clemson Tigers since May, and he's the type of players that has helped elevate the Tigers to one of the premier programs in the country.
