If you’re able to keep up with Northeast High School (Fla.) star athlete Omari Murray, then you’re already doing better than most of his competition.
“I’m one of the fastest kids to ever touch this earth,” Murray told Legacy Library.
It’s no wonder, then, why Murray has become a household name among South Florida football fans in recent years. He earned MaxPreps Sophomore All-American honors last year and was recently invited to participate in December’s All-American Bowl.
The numbers certainly work in Murray’s favor, too. He ran a 4.29 40-yard dash at an FAU camp in June, which would’ve ranked third during this past spring’s NFL Combine. While still at Cooper City, he shredded Boyd Anderson’s defense for eight catches, 215 yards and two scores.

“To become one of the greatest, you gotta work hard toward that,” Murray said, “and that’s what I want to do, because I want to become one of the greatest of it.”
Athleticism runs in the family. Basketball fans are certainly familiar with his cousin, Jamal, who made his first All-Star Game with the Nuggets last season.
Jamal might be in Colorado, but Omari should have his choice of schools nationwide. He secured an offer from UCLA last week, and nearby Florida Atlantic has been aggressive in trying to land the dynamic junior weapon.
Murray raved about FAU receivers coach DJ McCarthy, who is widely considered one of the nation’s top South Florida recruiters. The Owls are interested in potentially using Murray as a gadget player, a role that worked out well for Ravens receiver LaJohntay Wester.
Typically, we’d tell you to watch Murray, but he’s moving just a bit too fast for us — and that’s never a bad thing.
