Murphy was a key cog in title runs for both football and baseball in the 1980s. He helped the Bullets to at least a share of the first three CC football titles, including as a starting outside linebacker on the 1985 national semifinal team. On the baseball diamond, he led Gettysburg to MAC championships in both 1986 and 1987. In football, he earned Pizza Hut All-America honorable mention honors as well as ECAC South All-Star first team and all-conference first team accolades in 1986. In his career, he racked up 161 total tackles and nine sacks. In the spring, he was a three-year starter on the infield with a .310 career batting average. He was also a pitcher, posting a 10-4 record with a 1.99 ERA and 75 strikeouts in 123 career innings on the mound.
