Five-star defensive end Myles Murphy comes from a family of Georgia Bulldogs, and he goes to school in Powder Springs, a little over 75 miles from Georgia’s Athens campus. The Bulldogs were also Murphy’s first offer, and because he grew up in the heart of Dawg country, many assumed Murphy would choose to attend Georgia.
How did Clemson pry Murphy away from family and tradition and geographic location? It comes down to more than just football.
Murphy unveiled his decision to attend Clemson during halftime of his school’s spring game Friday night, choosing Clemson over runner-up Auburn.
