Murray is days removed from an official visit to Manhattan. Other schools in pursuit of the defensive back include Northwestern, Georgia Southern, Troy, Jax State and others. The Wildcats offered him in mid-May and quickly closed the deal.
Murray isn't currently ranked on any of the major recruiting websites, though that could change soon.
