Best USA TODAY photos of Kenneth Murray’s Oklahoma career
It’s NFL Draft day and two Oklahoma players are expected to be picked. Here are the best photos of Kenneth Murray’s career as a Sooner.
Former Oklahoma linebacker Kenneth Murray has the chance to become the first Sooner linebacker taken in the first round of the NFL draft since George Cumby in 1980 (Brian Bosworth was the first pick of the 1987 supplemental draft).
In his three years at Oklahoma Murray matured and grew as a player, not just each season but snap by snap.
He racked up 325 total tackles, 36.5 tackles for loss, and 9.5 sacks including two forced fumbles in his 40 games in crimson and cream.
Here are the best photos of Murray during his playing career at Oklahoma.
