Gardner-Webb’s young RB with room to pop
Jaylin Murray is a redshirt freshman running back at Gardner-Webb listed at 5-foot-10, 185 pounds, and he’s still in the “watch the build” stage rather than the finished-product stage. In the 2025 season, publicly available stat pages did not show meaningful game logs or stats, which suggests his value right now is more about development and projection than box-score production. What makes him interesting is the athletic upside of a compact back profile and the chance to grow into a physical, high-effort role in the Gardner-Webb backfield. If a team wants an under-the-radar developmental runner, he’s a name to file away.
