About Colin
Expert Analysis
Carey Smith | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Murphy is a fleet-footed and agile multi-sport athlete who is a standout on the gridiron too. On the lacrosse field, Murphy works as a remarkably skilled and high IQ midfielder. One item that pops immediately about Murphy’s game is his ability to create scoring chances with off-ball movement. In transition, Murphy does a fantastic job of running to open space in the ball carriers line of vision, receiving a pass and then scoring on the run. That off-ball skill set also produces high-percentage looks for Murphy when he comes flying out of the box. In settled action, Murphy excels at cutting down the middle of the field for a catch and finish opportunity. In addition to his off-ball skills, Murphy has proven that he can dodge from up top, get down the alley, separate from his defender and then score or distribute on the run. Murphy’s step-down shooting from up top must be respected too. Murphy has also flashed that he can carry the ball behind the cage and initiate or feed from there.
