Bobby Murray
Wt: 175 lbs
Class: 2018
LPI: What are you going to do to take your game to the next level this offseason? Are you playing 7-on-7 or are you playing any other sports?
BM: I have been working extremely hard in the weight room and concentrating on my core. I am also focusing on my flexibility in the off season as well. I work on my QB fundamentals on a regular basis. I have always worked hard at being as accurate as possible, while trying to be as perfect as I can with my footwork. I typically will throw about 3 days a week. That will increase to 4 days a week after the 4th of July. Our team will participate in several 7-on-7’s this summer too…looking forward to those for sure.
LPI: You currently don’t have any offers, but I believe you have what it takes to play at the next level. What skill set can you bring to the table for a college football program?
BM: Thank you. No offers…yet. However, that’s not something that I focus on. All I can do is keep working hard, work on getting better as a QB, and when the season comes, putting some great plays on film. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to do that again this fall.
As far as what I can bring to a college program, I would say my leadership skills, being mentally and physically tough are definitely at the top of that list. I pride myself on being extremely accurate and making good decisions with the football. I’ve been taught from an early age to read coverage so I also feel that’s a strong point of mine too. Being a sprinter in Track and Field has really given me a chance to get a lot faster and being able to use that at the QB position is invaluable.
LPI: Which schools have shown serious interest in you?
BM: Harvard, Dartmouth, Cornell, Columbia, Bucknell, Holy Cross, Illinois, Illinois State, Ferris St, UM-Duluth, Hillsdale College, North Central, St. Thomas, Mt. Union, WashU, and Bowdoin.
LPI: Where have you visited most recently and do you have any planned visits or camps/showcases set?
BM: I attended Junior Day visits at Illinois, Dartmouth and Bucknell. Right now, we have plans to attend camps at Cornell, Holy Cross, Columbia, Dartmouth, Harvard, WashU and Bucknell…so far.
LPI: On or off the field, how do you demonstrate leadership or go the extra mile for your teammates?
BM: My teammates know that I am there for them no matter what; They’re my guys. I’ve grown up with most of them, so we’ve known each other since we were little kids. They know who I am as a person and as their QB. They know I’ll never quit on them… ever. They’re my brothers, and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for any of my guys. I try to lead by example, I work hard in the classroom, I never miss workouts, I put in a lot of extra work trying to be the best QB I can be for our program.
LPI: Who are some of your teammates or training partners that you believe can play at the next level, but have gone overlooked by college coaches?
BM:
Troy Tams 2018 SS 6’2″ 200 – Physical player, smart player, always around the ball.
Zach Pronenko 2018 LB 6’0″ 215 – Defensive leader, very tough, physical player, high football IQ, very underrated.
Jake Temple 2018 WR 6’4″ 190 – Size, speed, hands. Jake is a threat. He’s big and he’s open all the time. Getting better and better at running great routes.
Cole Campbell 2019 DE 6’2″ 225 – Motor, speed, toughness, quickness, technique, raw talent.
Garrett Sneed 2019 WR 6’0″ 175 – Great hands, extremely quick, very athletic, and has very good body control when the ball is in the air. Another true threat at WR.
Reilly Waldoch 2019 K 6’2″ 195 – He was putting KO’s into the end zone since he was a freshman. Could be a big-time kicker for sure. Also plays RB, WR, etc… Just an all around great athlete.
