Murrell, Kaz Allen, Keegan Jones, and Christian Grubb could legitimately be the fastest running back room in the country

"Instead of using weights, the videos feature him getting his workouts in using things like bales of hay. But, be warned! The kid also seems to like to cook. So, don’t visit on an empty stomach!"

..his "old school" training makes me mindful of two iconic movies: The Longest Yard (Burt Reynolds) where one of the prospects, upon being invited to play for the cons, starts throwing full hay bails into the truck knocking his buds down AND Rocky IV where Rocky's and Ivan Drago's training methods are contrasted. Drago employs all of the sophisticated equipment and methodology that the USSR has available while Rocky trains out on the wilderness of Siberia in some barn with whatever is at hand.

Deshun sounds like a good ol' country boy to me; will be following his career and rooting for him!

3 jobs and staying up into the wee hours to do homework? I love this kid!! He legitimately sounds humble and appreciative of the chance to play at UCLA. Huge shout-out to his mother who raised such a great kid :-) Think he's gonna be a great get on character alone, and I hope that he does pan out as a three-down back. God knows, I'll be pulling for him! Go, Bruins! and a huge welcome to campus, Deshun..
