Five-star defender tries to fool Swinney with commitment call

POWDER SPRINGS, GA – Myles Murphy did his best Christian Wilkins impersonation when he told Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney he was ready to commit.

Wilkins, Clemson’s star defensive tackle who was recently drafted in the first round by the Miami Dolphins, tried to trick Swinney when it came time to commit. Wilkins, then a senior in high school, called Swinney and acted like he was going to move in another direction before actually breaking out the good news.

Murphy didn’t take it as far as Wilkins but did try to keep his intentions hidden for as long as possible.
