Class of 2016
Keemari Murry has yet to play varsity football. That said, he has already made some nice strides since his freshman football season. As Ohio is preparing for some big track meets this month (district & regional), Murry already has a PR (personal record) of 11.37 in the 100 meter dash. By comparison, LeShun Daniels Jr, an Iowa signee @ WGH, has a PR of 11.70 in the 100. Does this mean that Murry will be a better tailback? Of course not, but if his growth & progression continues at this rate, college recruiters may take notice sooner than later.
Since 2000, WGH has sent five running backs to the Division 1 level, two of which played for Ohio State (Maurice Clarett & Dan "Boom" Herron in 2002 & 2007, respectively). Could Murry be the sixth to make it that far? Only time will tell. I'm not posting this to sell you a dream, but I advise you all to keep an eye on somebody who could potentially be the next great back from Warren. Stay tuned.
