This past season Murdock rushed for over 1,500 yards and 21 touchdowns as a senior at Barrington High School. Defensively Murdock played linebacker in the fall, the same position that Toledo and most colleges are recruiting him for.
Murdock, one of thirteen official visitors at the University of Toledo this past weekend, becomes the 17th verbal commitment to the University of Toledo's 2012 football recruiting class.
