In Orange County’s most anticipated announcement of National Signing Day, San Clemente All-County left tackle Kyle Murphy (6-7, 280) said moments ago that he is headed to Stanford. Murphy entered the day as one of the top uncommitted players in the country.Murphy, the No. 1 recruit in Orange County, was thought to have narrowed his decision to Stanford and USC. He made the decision in front of San Clemente’s library — complete with an arch of red, white and black balloons — as part of a signing day ceremony rather than make a big splash on television like many top recruits in the Class of 2012.
“The school I’m going to for the next four or five years … is Stanford,” Murphy announced before the large crowd burst into cheers.
The senior took official recruiting trips to Oregon, Florida, Stanford and USC. He is considered by some to the No. 1 tackle prospect in the nation. He was a Fab 15 selection and played in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
“It’s definitely the hardest decision I’ve ever (made) in my life,” Murphy said.

San Clemente quarterback and Elite 11 member Travis Wilson has signed with Utah, the senior said in a text message Wednesday.
Wilson is the No. 4-ranked recruit in Orange County’s senior rankings. He was the first passer from his class offered by quarterback guru Norm Chow. And despite Chow’s move to Hawaii, Wilson stayed true his commitment.
“(I feel) really good,” Wilson said in a text. “I’m excited to be a Ute.”

San Clemente All-County defensive back Christian Tober (5-9, 175) has decided to accept a preferred walk-on to USC, his father, Mark, reports.
The speedy senior had offers from San Diego, Sacramento State, South Dakota State and Cal Poly SLO. He also made an official recruiting trip to Sacramento State.
Tober has a burst, especially as return man. He also is an excellent cornerback. He is talented enough that USC fans should keep an eye out for him. He’s a baller.

San Clemente All-County offensive lineman Kyle Murphy — Orange County’s No. 1 recruit for 2012 – said in a text message Wednesday afternoon that he believes he will announce his college decision at San Clemente HS on National Signing Day – which arrives Feb. 1.
Murphy made four official recruiting trips. They were (in order): Oregon, Florida, Stanford and USC. After his visit to USC this past weekend, he said he would not take any more trips.
Murphy’s announcement could be Orange County’s biggest news from National Signing Day. According an OCVarsity blog poll, most fans believes USC will land the outstanding left tackle – who moves very well, is strong in pass and run blocking and plays with a mean streak:
San Clemente running back Mike Elespuru (6-0, 190) has committed to Penn, Tritons assistant football coach Jaime Ortiz reports.
Elespuru rushed for 1,474 yards for the Pac-5 Division runner-ups. The senior also had nine 100-yard rushing games.
