Jalen Myrick had first shot at nickle back. That I expected. The next quote I didn't.
'Sawvel said Murray, also an all-conference selection, at nickel is something they haven't done for a few years. "He's a really good blitzer," the coach said. "He's a very good man(-coverage) player."'
I think this is a great idea. Murray is both our most talented and most physically imposing CB. He'll be a terror blitzing from that position and will provide lockdown coverage on the kind of short routes slot receivers run to convert 3rd and 5.
