The first words out of University of Tennessee at Chattanooga defensive coordinator Adam Fuller’s mouth regarding junior linebacker C.J. Murrell might surprise you.
“You mean ‘O’?” Fuller said Saturday morning with a grin. “The first ‘O’ in ‘Go Chattanooga Mocs’?”
It’s supposed to be the other way around. A young man making his college football team’s travel squad as a walk-on should become more recognized around campus after he makes the team.
Then again, Murrell’s path to the Mocs may be unlike anyone else’s in the program’s 109-year history.
But better to paint you a picture. Or at least a 14-inch high letter made of body paint.
