I spoke with Kevin Murphy this morning after it became official that he would be a Bulldog in 2019.
On why he chose to play his final season at La Tech, “First of all, I was attracted to the great winning culture at Tech. Coach Holtz is incredible along with the rest of the staff. Also, my previous relationship with Coach Diaco and the familiarity I have with his system after working in it for 2 years at UConn. Finally, getting around the team and support staff I really felt at home and knew it was a great fit for me!”
On what it’s like to play for Diaco, “It's really a great experience. He instills great competitive belief in his guys because you know that your are prepared for anything. His energy and passion is contagious which makes for a great environment to craft your skills and learn in.”
Murphy will compete for playing time at NT alongside Courtney Wallace and D.J. Jackson. He’s 6’1, 288 pounds, played in 34 games at UConn. He was a 3-star recruit in 2015.
