Coach Says: “Landen Murray is an explosive, game-changing athlete who’s a threat to score every time he touches the ball. Offensively, he’s a versatile weapon—whether it’s jet sweeps, wildcat packages, or stretching the field as a deep-ball target, he just finds ways to make big plays. He’s got incredible hands and feel for the game. On defense, he’s a physical presence at outside linebacker, and in the return game, he’s elite—finishing last season with over four return touchdowns and ranking second in the nation in total return yards. Landen is the kind of athlete who impacts the game in all three phases, and we’re excited to see him take another big step forward this year”.
