Cornell’s Chris Murray brings old-school linebacker grit and special-teams value
Chris Murray has shown the kind of tough, physical presence Cornell likes in the middle of the defense, with ESPN listing him as a linebacker for the Big Red and Cornell noting he earned his first letter after moving to linebacker and contributing on special teams. That versatility matters: he’s not just a tackle collector, he’s a tone-setter who can help on coverage units and bring edge snap-to-snap. If you want a rugged, assignment-sound defender who adds value beyond the box score, Murray fits the profile.
