Hard-hitting safety Jamell Murry (5-11, 180, 4.45) from Los Angeles (Calif.) Jordan is somewhat unknown to recruitneks, but according to Jordan assistant coach Elijah Asante, he’s known very well to the local Pac-10 teams and more.
“Coach (USC DB coach) (Greg) Burns has invited Jamell to USC games and has asked for tape,” Asante said. “He has even come over to Jordan to see a game.”
