Javon Murry brings efficient, under-the-radar upside to Drake’s backfield
Murry is a 5'9", 171-pound sophomore running back for Drake who has not yet seen game action in college, but his pre-Drake résumé stands out: he was an all-conference back/DB in high school and rushed for 819 yards and 13 touchdowns as a senior, then 798 yards and 8 scores as a junior. That profile suggests quickness, versatility, and playmaking upside rather than brute-force volume, making him an intriguing fit for a staff that values speed, special-teams potential, and developmental ceilings over immediate box-score production.
