When Demarco Murray committed to the Oklahoma Sooners at the 2006 Army All-America Game, OU fans dreamt of a dynamic playmaker who would thrive at the collegiate level and represent the school in the NFL. Twelve years, six months, multiple school records and an NFL rushing title later, Murray has announced his retirement from the game.
Murray, who announced his retirement Friday afternoon on ESPN2’s NFL Live, rushed for 3,685 yards and 50 touchdowns at Oklahoma from 2007-2010. Additionally, he recorded 10 touchdown receptions and three kickoff return TDs, giving him a school-record 64 all-purpose TDs. He also holds the school records for all-purpose yards (6,498) and receiving yards by a running back (1,512).
