  09/16/20 - DE *Myles MurphyJr/2023, Clemson

  For the past four years, Joe Gerda watched Myles Murphy dominate on the high school level. Gerda was Murphy's defensive line coach at Hillgrove High School in Georgia and watched the soft-spoken defensive end become the school's latest superstar. Hillgrove produced current NFL players Bradley Chubb (Cleveland Browns), Evan Engram (New York Giants) and Kenyan Drake (Arizona Cardinals). But Gerda wasn't sure what to expect when he turned on the TV Saturday to watch Murphy in his Clemson debut against Wake Forest. The 6-foot-5, 275-pound Murphy was that same dominant player Gerda watched so many times, leading the Tigers with seven tackles (three for loss) and two sacks in the 37-13 victory. "I was very surprised to see the stat line," Gerda said. "His ability to get rid of blocks so quickly at the college level was a surprise to me. He was always able to do that at the high school level. He was a man among boys. But to do it against Wake Forest and grown men is pretty impressive." Murphy, who talked with reporters this week for the first time since arriving at Clemson in January, admitted he had first-game jitters, but they went away after the first few plays. He played 29 snaps, fourth most along the Tigers' defensive line Saturday. "The first drive I was nervous. After you make first contact on the field, it gets out of your body," Murphy said. "The rest of the game felt like high school ball and doing what I do on the field." - The State
