Tavares Murray Jr. brings early-career upside at safety for Old Dominion
Murray enters Old Dominion as a **freshman safety** with a credible three-star recruiting profile and a compact 5-foot-10, 175-pound frame that fits a downhill, physical role. His high school résumé stands out for production and versatility: as a senior at Bartow, he posted **90 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 3 sacks**, after a junior year with **28 tackles, 4 pass breakups, and 2 interceptions**. He also adds multi-sport athleticism, which often translates to range and body control in the secondary. For a roster fit, he looks like a development prospect with tackling instinct and playmaking flashes rather than a polished, finished product.
