EagleDamnWar 0 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Kyler Murray, Dual-Threat Quarterback Allen, TX (Allen) Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 170 - Expected to announce decision May 28th - Recruiter: Rhett Lashlee Offers: Arizona State, Arkansas, Auburn, California, Clemson, Clemson, Florida, Georgia Tech, Nebraska, North Carolina Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Oregon, TCU, Texas and Texas A&M, among others. 247Sports: 5* (Top247 - No. 10) Rivals: 4* (Rivals100 - No. 51) Scout: 4* (Scout Rank - No. 43) Typically, quarterbacks with his size are not rated as highly, but that speaks to the type of talent he possesses. Led his team to a 5A state title in Texas as a sophomore, showing a high acumen to read the field and make plays with his arm or his legs. He is a very accurate passer and can place the ball exactly where he wants it to go. He is very savvy as to when he decides to pull the ball down and run. A true dual-threat at the position. - GPhttp://recruiting.sc...c=1&nid=6704629 As a sophomore in 2012, Murray helped lead Allen to a State Championship. He passed for over 2,000 yards and rushed for over 1,300 yards and scored 42 touchdowns to earn 10-5A District Offensive MVP, First Team All-District and First Team All-State honors.http://recruiting.sc...c=1&nid=6704629 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURex 2,031 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Wow, he's really small. Is he really being looked at as a QB prospect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metafour 4,969 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Wow, he's really small. Is he really being looked at as a QB prospect? Yes. He is really small but he is a dynamic runner with an advanced feel for passing. Good mechanics and ball placement, and a pretty good arm. His dad was a QB at Texas A&M (hence why he's likely to end up there) and you can tell he's been drilled the fundamentals of the position. Watch his highlights. The kid is one of the best QBs in this class. His age is a positive as well: 16.5 is young for his class, which suggests there may be some more growth potential for him...but also makes his overall advanced feel for the position even more impressive. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/o/1422152/highlights/21720427 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Every time I look at this forum I see another QB offer from AU...how many offers do we have out now? How many are realistic prospects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimesAU 89 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Just echoing what others have already said, but this guy can really play the position. I know its cliche but he looks/plays a lot like Manziel. Same size, same poise, great footwork in and out of the pocket, laser arm, very accurate... The kid looks to be a player wherever he lands. I hate that we're not in his top 5 at the moment, but there's still time left for things to shift. Looks like he's a 4* right now, but I fully expect him to end up a 5* like Kiehl Frazier was.

metafour 4,969 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 How many are realistic prospects? Well... Gibson: Heavy OSU lean. Not very realistic. Murray: Heavy A&M lean. Not very realistic. Stidham: Baylor/Texas Tech lean. Unrealistic right now, but this kid is picking up all sorts of offers (just got Bama). We have a more realistic chance with Kai Locksley right now than with any of these new recent offers. The Virgil kid would also be more realistic but that is because he isn't quite as sought after as the others, thus if we really pushed for him I think we could be serious contenders but I dont think he is a high priority right now.

Yes, I realize he could have a growth spurt and put on weight. But he's not the "same size" as JF. Not dissing on the kid. He looks like a really talented and exciting player. Maybe by the time he's a senior, he'll decide that Auburn is a better fit for him than A&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was attempting to project what he'll play/look like in college. Still though... how big do you think Manziel is? Word is he's under 6 ft and about 185. That's not far off from Murray's stats.

GenesChin 9 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 An asteroid would have to hit Texas A&M for Auburn to have a chance. He is a huge A&M fan and A&M legacy. He fits the Johnny Manziel roll perfectly and no doubt that will be a strong and useful selling point for the Aggies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
