DeMarco Murray was born on February 12, 1988, in Las Vegas, Nevada. He attended Bishop Gorman High School, where he excelled in football, basketball, and track. In football, Murray was a three-time All-Conference pick and a key player for three-time Conference Champions. His senior year saw him rush for 1,947 yards and 27 touchdowns, along with 624 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns, earning him All-State honors. He was considered a top running back recruit and committed to the University of Oklahoma, where he played college football from 2006 to 2010. During his collegiate career, Murray set multiple University of Oklahoma records, including all-time leader in touchdowns (65) and all-purpose yards (6,718), demonstrating his versatility and impact on the field.
Murray’s professional career began when he was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the third round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He quickly made an impact, notably breaking Emmitt Smith’s single-game rushing record for the Cowboys with 253 yards in his rookie season. He continued to be a productive player for the Cowboys, culminating in a standout 2014 season where he led the NFL in rushing yards with 1,845 and rushing touchdowns with 13. This exceptional performance earned him the NFL Offensive Player of the Year award, a first-team All-Pro selection, and his second Pro Bowl nomination. Following his time with the Cowboys, Murray played for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015 and the Tennessee Titans from 2016-2017, where he had a resurgent season in 2016, leading the AFC in rushing yards and earning his third Pro Bowl selection.
After seven seasons in the NFL, DeMarco Murray announced his retirement in July 2018. Following his playing career, Murray transitioned into coaching, joining the Arizona Wildcats as a running backs coach in 2019. In January 2020, he returned to his alma mater, the University of Oklahoma, to serve as their running backs coach. His coaching career has already seen him face a suspension for recruiting violations in 2024. Off the field, Murray is involved in philanthropic efforts, including the DeMarco Murray Foundation, which supports seriously and chronically ill children, and serving as the Chief Athletics Officer of Wellness in the Schools, promoting healthy lifestyles for children.
