Byron Murphy was the crown jewel of Washington’s 2016 recruiting class coming out of Saguaro High School in Arizona. At the time he was the 3rd highest rated recruit ever under Coach Petersen at UW per the 247 Sports Composite finishing only behind Budda Baker and Jake Browning. It wasn’t hard to see why. Murphy finished his senior season with 88 catches for 1,721 yards and 21 touchdowns on offense and added in 52 tackles and 7 interceptions on defense. He could’ve been an elite prospect on either side of the ball but ultimately chose to play corner in college.
