At 6’5, Murrow brings a versatile and well-rounded skill set to the floor, armed with good length, the ability to catch-and-shoot from the 3-point line and uses his size well to get to the basket and finish. Murrow also brings versatility to the defensive end and can defend multiple positions with his length and athleticism.
Murrow is putting together a strong spring running with MoKan 2020 and says the experience has helped prepare him for the upcoming season.
“Playing with my team this summer has been really fun because we all are very competitive as it’s our last summer to show coaches what we can do,” Murrow says. “I think I will be very prepared for next school season because we are playing against tough competition constantly and our coach, Anthony Perry, also pushes us very hard and makes us better every weekend.”
Murrow says he is spending the offseason working on his ball handling and mid-range jump shot and hopes to work on improving his playmaking skills as well.
“I’ve also worked a lot on free throw shooting as I didn’t shoot very well from the line last school season,” he says.
Murrow says his biggest influence is his sister who is suffering through illness and serves as his inspiration.
“My sister has an eye disease which is causing her to go blind and she is already mostly blind,” Murrow says. “She is also pretty deaf and wears hearing aids to fix her hearing. And this influences me because I want to be able to go to college for free so that way my parents don’t have to worry about me and can use their money for my sisters issues.”
Murrow says he has heard from several Division III and NAIA schools, including Nebraska Wesleyan, Central Missouri and Princeton.
