Marauder Athletics welcomes George “Tyrus” Murdoch to the Antelope Valley College Athletics Hall of Fame!
A graduate of Quartz Hill School, George Murdoch played offensive line for the Marauders in 1991 and 1992. In 1991, he anchored a line that helped get the Marauders to the Southern California Bowl and earned All-Foothill Conference honors. In 1992, George settled in at right guard and was part of an offensive line unit that received media coverage due to their size and abilities. Murdoch, at 6′ 7″ and 350 pounds, was the biggest of the big on an offensive line that was the largest in the Los Angeles area at all levels, including USC, UCLA, and the LA Rams. The 1992 team went on to win the K-Swiss Classic II bowl game – the first non-playoff bowl win in 38 years. George was singled out by his position coach as being “one of the most versatile offensive linemen I ever worked with.”
After AVC, Murdoch continued his studies and athletic career at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, where he received his Baccalaureate degree. After graduating from the University of Nebraska at Kearney, he became Snoop Dogg’s bodyguard and eventually entered the world of professional wrestling. As a wrestler, he was signed to the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), where he is a former NWA Heavyweight Champion. Before that, he wrestled for the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
Today, George Tyrus Murdoch is an American cable news personality, actor, best-selling author, and former wrestler known by his ring/stage name, “Tyrus.” As a cable news personality, he appears on Fox News and its sister streaming service, Fox Nation, primarily as a co-host/panelist on the late-night talk show “Gutfeld!”
Please congratulate George “Tyrus” Murdoch on his induction into AVC’s 2024 Athletic Hall of Fame!
