Justin Murphy pulls switcheroo, to leave UCLA after it helped him gain extra year of eligibility

Two days after thanking UCLA’s compliance department for helping him gain a sixth year of college eligibility, Justin Murphy announced that he was going to use it elsewhere.

The graduate transfer offensive lineman revealed his change of plans Wednesday on Twitter, writing that he was grateful for his experiences as a Bruin and was optimistic for the future of the program.

“I believe the foundation for a Pac-12 championship has been laid at UCLA, and one thing that Bruin fans can for sure get behind is that coach [Chip] Kelly and his staff will stay the course,” Murphy wrote.
