Tyler Murphy (born January 12, 1992) is an American football quarterback who is currently a free agent. He played college football at Florida and Boston College.
Murphy attended Wethersfield High School, where he was a two-sport star in football and track. He did not have a very good junior season and was not on the radar for any Division I colleges. His senior year, he had a breakout year and threw for over 1,000 yards and rushed for over 1,000 yards.
Also a standout track & field athlete, Murphy was one of the state's top performers in both sprinting and jumping events. He recorded a personal-best time of 37.12 seconds in the 300-meter dash at the 2010 Yale T&F Classic, where he placed 12th. At the 2010 CCC North Outdoor T&F Championships, he captured two state titles, winning the triple jump, with a leap of 15.53 meters (50 ft, 7 in), and the high jump, with a leap of 1.84 meters (6 ft), while also anchoring the Wethersfield 4 × 400 m relay squad, helping them take silver with a time of 3:24.69 minutes. In addition, Murphy also competed as a middle-distance runner and decathlete, recording career-best times of 1:26.20 minutes in the 600-meter run, 2:00.24 minutes in the 800-meter run and 2:38.33 minutes in the 1000-meter run.
Regarded only as a two-star prospect by Rivals.com, Murphy signed to Florida on February 3, 2010.
