CJ Murphy gives Akron some sneaky-deep line depth with a grinder’s edge
In the 2025 season, Akron DL CJ Murphy appeared in 10 games and posted 4 solo tackles with 1.0 tackle for loss, a modest box-score line that still fits a hard-nosed rotational role[1][5][12]. At 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds, he brings a lean, active frame, plus a proven multi-sport background and leadership chops from Radnor HS, where he was a captain and all-area performer[1]. The fit question? He looks like a developmental, effort-first piece who can help a team with motor, versatility, and toughness more than headline stats[1][12].
