Murray was a senior running back in 2015. The Dec. 22 all-state story says he began to make a name as a junior during Dunmore's PIAA run, then led the Bucks with 1,530 yards and 27 total touchdowns. He was the Times-Tribune Offensive Player of the Year, and the Pennsylvania Football Writers put him on the Class AA all-state team. In two state playoff games he ran for 253 yards on 48 carries and six touchdowns, five of them against Notre Dame-Green Pond. The career line in that story is 2,309 rushing yards and 35 touchdowns, with 635 yards and 10 touchdowns in six state playoff games. One shoulder had been surgically repaired in the offseason. Dunmore won three Division II titles and went 37-5 in his three seasons.

The Misericordia roster lists him as a junior defensive back from Dunmore. In 2018 he started all 11 games, made second-team All-MAC, and finished with 75 tackles and five interceptions. That interception total set the school single-season record and tied the career record. He returned one for a touchdown against Kings, and he had 5.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and four pass breakups.
