'15 OL Jordan Murray (Coppell)

BillySee58 · May 6, 2014

6'9" 350 lb offensive lineman from Coppell. We appear to be his first offer. Very limited highlights (1 play), so he may be entering his first year as a starter, which would also help explain why he's been lightly recruited to this point. Especially at a school like Coppell. Tremendous potential, clearly.

Highlights:

Offensive tackle who looks around 6'9 reportedly already has an offer from North Texas - Jordan Murray, Class of 2015. #TXHSFB

Picked up a UTEP offer

This kid is a monster and I would love to see him in Green and white for the next couple of years. I just hope the fact that we were the first to offer has any weight in his mind? Close to home so his family can see him play.

Man, 345 coming out of high school. That kid is gonna get HUGE with some college strength and conditioning!

UNTLifer · November 20, 2014

Welcome. Expect criticism with 0 stars and no other D1 offers. Prove the naysayers wrong!

FirefightnRick · November 20, 2014

He's extremely large. It will be interesting to see if he ever gets any other offer?

Had UTEP offer

UNT 90 Grad · November 20, 2014

At that height, he better stay crouched down so he doesn't catch a pass in the back of the head.

UNT90 · November 20, 2014

Can you imagine 5'10" McNulty throwing to the side of the field where a 6'10" guard is in front of him?

Interesting.

Convert him to NT.

Interested to see what Billy and some others have to say about this giant kid.

I updated his thread in the recruiting forum. I still haven't had a chance to see his senior highlights, since I don't see anything uploaded on his hudl. Although what I posted about his junior highlights was that it was only one-play long. Which means he must not have been a starter his junior year.

Good news is he's huge, at 6'9"+ and over 340 lbs. Bad news is that he played for a metroplex power in Coppell, which has dozens of colleges come through all the time, and only two have thought he was good enough to offer him a scholarship (us and UTEP), despite his size. Could easily be a good pickup if we develop him. Seems about as sure a lock for a redshirt as it gets.

UNTLifer · November 20, 2014

Because 6'10" nose tackles are so successful. This guy will get manhandled due to not having any leverage with that height.

UNTLifer · November 20, 2014

Pure project.

SSP · November 20, 2014

Eeeek... I wish you guys wouldn't post negatively about potential recruits because they read.

All Jordan has to do is growl real loud, lay down and roll toward the opposite team's line. Y'all remember Ed "Too Tall" Jones of Dallas Cowboy fame? Great pick up, welcome to the Mean Green Nation Jordan. Plan on winning, plan on bowls.

Yes too tall played Defense. He was the original JJ. Swat. This kid's height is a detriment for him to overcome but if he was perfect we would not have landed him.
