Iowa football recruiting, moderated. Post responsibly and with respect for players and coaches. Rumors and speculation should be clearly labeled as such.
Clinton High seniors Matt Murphy and Tyler Redman, and junior Austin Krick, were named to the All-Mississippi Athletic Conference football team that was released today.
Murphy was selected on both the offensive and defensive lines, while Redman was honored at wideout and Krick was picked on the defensive line. The River Kings finished with a 4-6 record and became the first Clinton team since 1996 to advance to the postseason.
Quote:
Murphy (6-foot-6, 235 pounds) was one of four players who was selected to the first team on both offense and defense.
"He's a three-year starter, and he had to step it up on both sides of the ball and did a nice job for us," Camp said. "It's tough to get first-team on both sides of the ball. I thought he had a big year on both sides."
Murphy and Krick were keys to the Clinton defense at the tackle spots. Krick was in on 45 tackles, including four for lost yardage, and Murphy made 32 tackles.
"Those two guys came up with quite a few tackles for loss and altered some teams' plans to run up the middle," Camp said.
From the Iowa site. Murphy was told on his visit this weekend that his grayshirt offer had been converted into one for 2009, and he accepted. He had a great time, and says he enjoyed getting to talk with the staff and seeing the academic side of the Hawkeyes.
