Daymon Murray brings veteran versatility and special-teams grit to Western Illinois
Daymon Murray is a sturdy, experienced defensive back/linebacker type for Western Illinois who has shown value as a physical, assignment-sound defender and special-teams playmaker; in the 2019 season he appeared in 11 games, made starts at Tennessee Tech and Missouri State, and logged 19 tackles with three breakups, while his 2018 season included a blocked-punt recovery for a touchdown at South Dakota. That kind of “do the dirty work” profile matters if a team needs toughness, reliability, and a player who can flip field position without needing the ball in his hands.
