'21 Temple Transfer CB Jalen McMurray (Tennessee)

[RiseToTheTop]

Hey, happy to land him but isn't Temple absolutely horrible almost every year? The mighty Owls were 3-9 this year, with wins
over Navy, Akron and Norfolk State.

one of Bama's starting Safeties was a UAB transfer

happens every yr with many teams.

Post his pff

Wasn't it 80 in 2022? Which is probably like top 5.

Michigan started a NCB originally from UMass last night.

BOOM!!!

Pretty sure their center came from somewhere small too

AP essentially said the same as KingVFL. He was smaller than they expected but he really wanted to be here. As he said, "sometimes one just falls in your lap."

Has anyone seen AP and @KingVFL in the same room together?

He was a second team freshman All-American in 2022. You don’t have to be on a winning team to be talented.

It's dumb that people refuse to realize that it's possible good players exist outside of the SEC

The American isn't that weak either yall gracious

 

[JRVFL]

Boom! Anybody have a link to any tape or highlights? Not able to find anything myself.

Eric Berry was on a 5-7 Tennessee team.

The latest "Ms. Runner Up" we've gotten due to the pageant winner not being able to fulfill her duties. Portal recruiting is going swimmingly!

I must be missing why this a boom-worthy addition, other than the fact that we need warm bodies in the secondary. When I look at these stats, I’m far more concerned than I am impressed, especially since he seemed to be better in 2022 than in 2023. Please, someone who understands this transfer better than I do, explain to me why we’re booming here.

I don't know his game specifically but normally when you're a good corner people throw away from you. This gets amplified if the guy on the other side is a lot worse than you. 2022 people were testing him 2023 they decided to look for greener pastures? The perfect cornerback would have 0 ints 0 pbus and few tackles. Because no one goes that way. In 2023 McMurray was second in tackles among CB's on that team. As a team they had 3 picks 2022 he was first on the team among corners for tackles and had 1 of their 6 picks. It just looks like opposing teams picked on the other side more often?

Doubt you're gonna glean much just from looking at the "stats", which never tell much at all for a defensive back. Those decreased numbers could be just because they didn't throw/run his way as often in 23. Pretty meaningless.

Always love a good usage of the word 'glean'

Wow, Jalen turned his head while defending a pass in the highlight. Interesting!

Willie is hoping to coach that out of him.

 

[GrayWaterCanine]

Any relation to Bonnie McMurray?

 

[DD4ME]

Has anyone seen AP and @KingVFL

Good sleuthing. Lines up.

 

[Ericvol2096]

I think McMurray puts us at 81. If we add Heard, that would be 82.

82 is our max with NCAA issues so our #s line up

in Y3

 

[Namorto1]

The fact that we don't have to resort to safeties at the cornerback position is positive. We still going after Ayden White from NC State?

 

[RAVOL]

Depth Depth need experienced Depth and special teams good pickup Vols. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Deebowbear]

Alright Martinez, lets see what you can do with these new dudes.

We already know nothing wish he was gone
