Murphy transferred to Garfield from Chief Sealth for his junior year where he showed great year over year improvement both in coverage and in run support. Good long frame at 6’0” 180 lbs. with plus reactionary quickness and recovery speed to close space quickly. Plays with good leverage and hip level to be fluid when changing directions and transitioning out of his back pedal. Shows good ability in both press and off coverage. Aggressive tackler in run support that can redirect while maintaining his outside in force and be reliable in the open field. Recruiting stock is on the rise as he continues to develop as one of the top corners in the state’s 2024 class.
A good natural athlete at 6’1” 175 lbs. that can be a difference maker on both sides of the ball. His 30 inch vertical and 4.6 40 time in combination with his plus body control and ball skills speak to his well-rounded athleticism. Tracks and adjusts well to ball flight and does a good job timing out his jump to attack the ball at the high point. Strong instincts to read and react and trigger to run/pass while putting himself in position to make plays. Does a good job breaking down in space and wrapping up to the ground as a tackler. Plays a hybrid OLB/SS for his HS but projects as a Safety at the college level. Has received camp invites and junior day invites from a variety of college programs.
Highlights
Moorman is a strong two way athlete with good top end speed and short area burst. Very fluid with his movement and change of direction, he’s able to react and close space in a hurry. Shows good awareness and sees the field well as a safety playing with good eye discipline and instincts in coverage. Using his speed he’s rangy and able to stay in phase in all three levels of the field. Plays the ball extremely well in the air flashing excellent hand-eye coordination, concentration, and ball skills at the catch point. Possesses the positional flexibility to be a playmaker in all three phases at the college level depending on need and scheme. Has taken several college visits already this spring including Colorado State and Eastern Washington and recently performed well at the National Preps Showcase in Tulalip.
