I’m solid. Nothing can break me. Just a little adversity not nothing I’m not use to! Thank you to all who reached out and sent prayers! 🙏🏾

Talked to OU LB Kenneth Murray this morning following his 40 yard dash run that ended with an injury.
He's doing well and has the majority of his strength already, which indicates a strain. He was able to walk on it and stayed to support his fellow LBs during drills last night.
