Danny Muy

Offensive Line...6-4...270...Tallahassee, Fla. (Lincoln)

Offensive lineman Danny Muy (pronounced MOO-ee) comes to Nebraska from Florida prep powerhouse Tallahassee Lincoln High School. Muy is one of nearly a dozen Lincoln High players expected to sign National Letters of Intent with Division I schools. Muy is one of five offensive linemen in Nebraska's 2004 recruiting class and was the first player to commit to the Huskers after the hiring of Head Coach Bill Callahan. Muy played guard and tackle for Lincoln High and Coach David Wilson, but is expected to line up at center at Nebraska. Muy's play helped Lincoln High to a 9-3 record and a trip to the second round of the Class 4A state playoffs in 2003. He graded out at 82 percent and recorded 19 "decleaters" as a senior, despite missing the first four games of the regular season because of a sprained knee. He was named first-team All-Big Bend by the Tallahassee Democrat and received third-team all-state honors from the Florida Sportswriters Association. Muy also started for Lincoln as a junior, helping his team to a state semifinal berth. In 2001, Muy was a reserve offensive lineman and earned a championship ring as a member of the Class 4A state championship team. The Orlando Sentinel recently named Muy one of the top 100 recruits in the state of Florida, and he participated in the CaliFlorida Bowl game in January. Muy showed his versatility in that game, as he played guard and had an outstanding performance in helping Florida to a 24-22 victory. Muy is ranked as the nation's No. 9 center by Rivals.com and Max Emfinger ranks him as the nation's No. 7 center recruit. He was also named to PrepStar Magazine's all-region team. Before the start of his senior year, Muy was named to Bill Buchalter's Florida Super Six Team, signifying that Muy was one of Florida's top six players at his position. Muy chose Nebraska over Clemson, Florida and Alabama, among others. Muy was born on Feb. 27, 1986, in Miami, and his family moved to Tallahassee in 1991. He lives with his mother, Marta McPherson and stepfather, Scott McPherson. His father is Mario Muy.

Why Nebraska? ? "The tradition and fan base at Nebraska are great. They have a great coaching staff and Nebraska has always been a big-time program for offensive linemen. I was also impressed by their team unity."
