What makes Murray
so dominate?
"I feel like I play hard, play smart, and play with a
lot of passion. I also respect the game," added Antwon Murrah
Murrah
is no secret around the Florida region as he helped Kathleen to the State Semifinal
(3A) last season. He collected 60 tackles, 5 int's, and 18 pass breakups along
the way.
How did it feel to win the Ole Miss Passing tournament?
"It
felt great. It was a great experience. I got a chance to see the Ole Miss campus,
which I really had been wanting to see. They were the first school to offer me
a scholarship, so I really wanted to check them out. I got a chance to meet Coach
Orgeron and go against some of the top WR's in that state. I think I held my own,
and I got a chance to go against some of the top teams in that Region, and we
won the camp, so we got a lot better as a team."
Which WR gave Murrah
the most problems?
"It would have to be Dandrick Weatherby. He was
really good."
Murray left the Ole Miss camp and headed to Auburn's
two day individual camp.
"I was only able to stay the day, but I had
a good experience. I got to compete against supposedly some of the best WR's in
the nation, and I more than held my own. It let me know where my talents are at
right now."
Antwon was not finished with his camping experience, as
he left Auburn on Saturday and headed to Alabama's one day camp on Sunday.
"I
had a great experience at Alabama. I already knew Coach Ball. They told my coach
that they wanted to see me at their camp, so I went and checked out their facilities.
It was also good to get coached by Coach Ball. He is a lot of fun to be around."

Murrah | Which college had the best facilities?
"Ole
Miss had the best facilities by far."
And which coaches did he feel
the most comfortable around?
"Well, I felt real comfortable with Coaches
Lubick (Ole Miss), Orgeron (Ole Miss), and Ball (Alabama)."
And which
campus felt the most at home?
"Well, Ole Miss was to me. Maybe because
I had my whole team their, but I would have to say Ole Miss."
Which
colleges have now offered Antwon a scholarship?
"Ole Miss, Iowa State,
Pittsburgh, Marshall, Nebraska, Eastern Michigan, Cincinnati, Bowling Green, and
UNLV."
Did Alabama discuss his scholarship status during their camp?
"No
sir, they did not talk about an offer."
Finally, who makes up Murray's
wish list?
"Iowa State, Ole Miss, and Nebraska are my Top 3 schools
right now."
What stands out about Iowa State?
"I just
like how Coach Harris recruits me. They were the second school to offer me. I
call Coach Harris a lot, and I like what I see from their facilities from the
internet. I just think I can make a great impact for the Cyclones."
And
what about Nebraska?
"To get an offer from a great traditional school
like Nebraska is just an honor. I also coach E. He and I are real cool. I think
Nebraska could be a great fit for me. I want to take a trip out there and see
what it is like."
Will Antwon make an early commitment?
"No
sir, I will take all five of my official visits, and go from there."
