Western Kentucky has added a piece to its offensive line.
The Hilltoppers announced Tuesday the signing of South Carolina transfer Vinnie Murphy.
"New Chapter," Murphy tweeted Sunday when he announced his commitment to WKU.
Murphy is a 6-foot-2, 300-pound redshirt sophomore. He played in eight games for the Gamecocks last season but appeared in only two of the team's final seven contests. He appeared in three games in his first two seasons with the program and has played at both center and guard. He was a rated a three-star prospect out of St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Florida, according to 247Sports.
