West Brighton resident Liam Murphy certainly qualifies.
Standing 6 foot, 7 inches, Murphy possesses elite height and a lethal touch from long range.
Now in his final year of eligibility, he has signed with Purdue University — ranked as the nation’s top team in the preseason.
“The West Brighton Boilermaker,” an Advance/SILive.com documentary series, chronicles his journey to March Madness.
