Oklahoma’s all-purpose weapon turned elite RB whisperer
In the 2026 season, DeMarco Murray is best known as Oklahoma’s running backs coach, bringing an Oklahoma-record résumé and a reputation for developing versatile, physical backs who can run, catch, and protect. He’s widely praised for football IQ, toughness, and an intensity that players tend to trust; his background as a durable, do-everything back makes him especially valuable for programs that want more than a straight-line runner. If a team wants a tone-setter with proven pedigree and real player-development chops, Murray is a strong fit.
