Luke Murphy brings proven tackle production and playmaking instincts to Coastal Carolina
Murphy is a productive, high-volume linebacker who already proved he can be a difference-maker, posting 94 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 4 QB hurries, an interception, and a fumble recovery in 2024 before adding 37 tackles in 2025 at Coastal Carolina.[12][13] His calling card is range and pursuit: EA’s 2026 ratings grade him well in tackling, pursuit, hit power, awareness, and play recognition, which lines up with a defender who reads quickly and arrives with force.[3] If you want a linebacker who brings effort, instincts, and game-changing upside more than flash, Murphy fits the bill.[12][13][3]
