Duke Football Head Coach Manny Diaz has landed a commitment from former Texas QB Maalik Murphy, per 247Sports.com’s Tom Loy.
Murphy, who transferred from Texas after two seasons, will have three seasons of eligibility remaining on the college level and was one of the hottest QB targets in the transfer portal after entering just before the dead period.
He visited Duke on Friday (Dec. 15), then headed off to South Carolina on Saturday (Dec. 16) followed by a visit to Oregon State on Sunday (Dec. 17).
Murphy was rated the No. 4 quarterback in the transfer portal after entering earlier this month and the No. 16 player available regardless of position. He played a backup role to Texas starter Quinn Ewers but flashed his big time tools when given a shot to play.
He opened a lot of eyes at the Longhorns Spring Game and then started and led Texas to wins over BYU and Kansas State when Ewers was out injured. He finished the season completing 40-71 passes for 477 yards and three touchdowns with three interceptions.
