In this episode of Off the Boards we are joined by 5th year, graduate senior, linebacker Tyler Murray.

Tyler joined the Tigers after playing 2 years with the Charlotte 49'ers. During his time at Charlotte, Tyler was named a team captain for the 2021 season, where he accumulated 79 total tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

Tyler talks about how the relationships with the staff was the reason he decided to come to Memphis. Head coach Ryan Silverfield is from Jacksonville, Florida where Tyler is also from. Tyler has worked with Ryan's nephew in Jacksonville during the offseason and Tyler shared how his relationship with Ryan opened the door for him to come to Memphis but his relationship with linebackers coach, Jordan Hankins, is what sealed the deal for him.

Tyler shares how his transformation from a 180 pound cornerback in high school to a 220 pound linebacker in college has been beneficial because even as he put on weight during college, he was able to utilize his footwork and ball hawking abilities in the linebacker position.

In the second segment, Tyler details how important the linebacker position is in the Tiger defense, and who he expects to play a strong role this year for the defense.
