NORMAN — Ogbonnia Okoronkwo had a sense early on that Kenneth Murray was cut from a different cloth.
One of the large group of early enrollees, the freshman linebacker immediately set out working hard.
From the first day he arrived in Norman, Murray would regularly head to the Everest Indoor Training Center — often with fellow freshman Justin Broiles or sophomore Caleb Kelly — to get in late-night work above and beyond his prescribed workouts.
“The workout part, effort, work ethic, definitely is something that I put a lot into and something that means a lot to me,” Murray said in the spring.
