Reliable USF workhorse with proven production and a nose for tough yards
In the 2012 season, Demetris Murray was USF’s team-high rusher with 665 yards and 6 rushing touchdowns on 170 carries, while also adding 20 catches for 134 yards[5][1]. His calling card is steady, physical, team-first running: USF highlighted his willingness to share the load, and he had already shown he could handle volume in the Bulls’ backfield[3][5]. He was also a highly regarded prep back from Buford, ranked by Rivals as the 49th-best running back nationally, which fits the profile of a dependable, no-drama chain-mover rather than a flashy stat-padder[3].
