Brandon Murray brings length, speed, and two-way playmaking to Rutgers’ secondary
In the 2025 season at Battlefield (Va.), Brandon Murray posted 63 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 5 pass breakups, 3 forced fumbles, and 1 interception while also adding 325 all-purpose yards and 3 touchdowns on offense, which shows a defender who is aggressive, versatile, and dangerous in space. Rutgers lists him as a 6-foot-1, 190-pound freshman defensive back, and recruiting services slotted him as one of the stronger cornerback prospects in the 2026 class, with 247Sports ranking him No. 33 at the position. He looks like a fit for a physical, high-energy defense that values instinct, versatility, and competitive edge.
