You could not tell by watching him Saturday night, but Myles Murphy was nervous about making his college football debut at Wake Forest.
“The first drive out there, I was actually very nervous,” the freshman defensive end said.
But once he started to try and get around the Wake Forest offensive tackle, that all went away. Murphy soon settled in and put together one of the best defensive performances by a true freshman in his first game as a Tiger.
“Once you make that first contact on the field, all of that anxiousness and jitteriness just gets out of your body,” he said.
