Steven Murray brings track-speed upside and ball-hawking instincts to Rutgers
In the 2025 season, Steven Murray did not see game action for Rutgers, so the profile here is all about projection—but the upside is real. A 6-foot, 185-pound sophomore DB from Eastern Guilford, he arrived with a reputation as a two-way playmaker: in high school he posted 103 tackles, 15 pass breakups and 12 interceptions on defense, plus 130 catches for 2,319 yards and 36 touchdowns on offense. Recruiting outlets praised his explosiveness, cover instincts and ball skills, and his track background hints at the kind of speed that can make him a sticky fit for a defense hungry for range and playmaking.
