Decision day has arrived for Irmo (S.C.) class of 2025 four-star wide receiver and priority South Carolina target Donovan Murph.

The 6-foot-1.5, 190-pound wideout will announce his decision at Thursday’s Under Armour All-America game. The game itself kicks off at 4 p.m. on ESPN2 but Murph’s decision will take place right before kickoff.

South Carolina, Clemson, Colorado, Ole Miss, and Tennessee are his finalists.

“I’ve been to those schools and I’ve been able to build a connection with the coaches and staff there,” Murph told On3’s Chad Simmons. “I’ve been able to see what they’re doing. A lot of the teams are, if not Playoff teams, nine-win teams. I see a future at those schools and they’ve been able to build a relationship with me. I really feel like home at a lot of those places.”

Murph – who holds 35 offers – took an official visit to Columbia for the Gamecocks’ game against Texas A&M on Nov. 2.

“I think just seeing the little things today and yesterday (stood out),” Murph told GamecockCentral after the visit. “We already had like a great relationship with all of the staff, but we just made it closer. But it really like solidified what Columbia is really like. So that was a big win for the team, and I’m just excited to see what they do in the future.”

Murph, who reclassified from 2026 to 2025, has built a strong relationship with receivers coach Mike Furrey.

“The couple of months that he’s been there, what stands out about him is just the type of person he is,” Murph said. “He’s a great coach from a developmental standpoint but he’s a great person as well. He just continues to talk to me about more things that’s not about football. It’s about more, it’s about life, you know, it’s about, how can how can I use football to better myself as a young man.”

Murph is the No. 291 overall prospect and No. 44 wide receiver in the 2025 On3 Industry Ranking. He is the No. 7 prospect in South Carolina for his class.
