....excerpts from article & comments from Josh McCuistion:
Oklahoma linebacker Tay Evans, who was Murray's teammate at Allen, called him a “warrior.”
“In some ways he does play like Baker,” Evans said. “He can make a lot of plays with his feet. Tough guy. Won't quit. He plays till the last whistle blows.”
By the time his high school career ended, he'd thrown for 10,388 yards and 117 touchdowns — both rank in the top-10 in Texas high school history — while also rushing for 4,093 yards and 69 scores.
His name carries a lot of weight'
Considering his phenomenal high school career and his popularity among other Texas prospects, could Murray becoming a Sooner benefit OU on the recruiting trail?
There have already been rumblings that Allen offensive tackle Greg Little — the No. 4-ranked overall prospect in the nation this year, according to Rivals — could flip from Ole Miss to Oklahoma because of his relationship with Murray.
Josh McCuistion, a longtime OU recruiting reporter for the Rivals network site SoonerScoop.com, said it's too early to say what impact Murray might have for the Sooners.
“But there's no question that his name carries a lot of weight in the Dallas Metroplex,” McCuistion said. “At a school like Allen, they played everybody and they beat everybody, and he was the center point of all of that.
“He's a guy kind of like Vince Young was in Houston. Everybody knew he was a big deal and everybody wants to go play with him. I think in Dallas, it could give OU some bounce.”
