In three seasons with Temple, McMurray became a key piece of the Owls' defense. In his recent redshirt sophomore campaign, he was named to the preseason All-AAC Third Team before posting 24 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and breaking up four passes.

In his redshirt freshman season, he was named second-team All-Freshman by College Football News. He came up with an interception and forced two fumbles that year.

He will now join Jermod McCoy and Jakobe Thomas as incoming transfers to the secondary.

Out of high school, McMurray was given a two-star rating out of Washington D.C.

He was also recruited by Boston College, Liberty and Maryland among others.
