Myles McLaughlin arrives at Murray State as a record-setting wrecking ball
In 2026, freshman RB Myles McLaughlin gives Murray State a bruising, high-upside back with rare production pedigree: he signed after a record-shattering high school career that included 4,846 rushing yards and 71 touchdowns in his final season, plus 11,839 career rushing yards. At 5-10 and around 190-195 pounds, he profiles as a compact, downhill runner who brings proven workload tolerance and big-play volume; the big question is how quickly that dominance translates to FCS speed. If you want a tough, productive runner with legit headline-grabbing potential, he’s a very intriguing fit.
