UCLA running back commit Deshun Murrell became former UCLA running back commit Deshun Murrell on Monday, a surprising development that puts a top running back target for Oklahoma State back onto the open market.
Murrell, a three-star prospect from Centreville, Alabama, had been committed to the Bruins since June. But since that commitment, Cal, Virginia, Kansas State, West Virginia, Louisville, Georgia Tech and Penn State had all made offers, with OSU’s coming less than a month ago.
Adding to the intrigue, that timing isn’t coincidental. He told 247Sports’ Steve Wiltfong that the Pokes are in his top 3 right now, along with UCLA and Penn State.
