Offensive lineman Kyle Murphy (San Clemente, Calif.) took an official visit to Stanford this past weekend and the Cardinal definitely sound like the team to beat right now.
“This was my fourth time visiting Stanford, so I already had a real good feel for the place,” Murphy said. “Every time that I visited or even on my home visit, the coaches were able to break things down for me in terms of how I fit in with the team and the offensive line. They see me as a tackle, right or left, and said I would have a chance to compete for playing time if I’m ready.
“That’s a goal of mine for sure. I would love to play as a true freshman, but I know I need to get bigger and stronger, and I’m definitely working on it. They never promised me anything, but in Stanford’s offense there are a lot of times when they play a jumbo package of seven lineman at one time, so I think if I come in ready to go, I’ll have a good chance to get in there.”
