Kyle Neil Murphy (born December 11, 1993) is an American former professional football offensive tackle.

At Stanford, he was a four-year starter primarily at offensive tackle for the Cardinal where he was named to multiple first-team and second-team All-Pac-12 Conference teams.

Murphy was born in Mission Viejo, California and attended San Clemente High School.

[1] While attending high school he lettered in not only football, but track and field where he was a shot put champion.

[1] In his sophomore year, Murphy played in 13 games as offensive tackle and tight end.

[5][6] Stanford's offensive line ranked 18th in the country in tackles for loss allowed and 42nd in sacks.

[1] In his final year with the Cardinal, he started all 14 games at left tackle and was named a team captain.

[1] He finished the year by being named as a third-team All-American by Phil Steele, and to a spot on the All-Pac-12 first-team.

Additionally, there was concern that he was "antsy" before the snap and that game tape showed him starting early.

Even though it was not called by college officials, this would create false start penalties at the professional level.
