Arr, ye scurvy dog Maalik Murphy, the swashbucklin' Texas Longhorns quarterback of yore, be settlin' his sails for Duke! Arrr, he be a trusty backup to the mighty Quinn Ewers, but now he seeks new shores under the flag of ESPN.
Avast ye mateys! The Duke Blue Devils have found themselves a new swashbuckling quarterback to lead their crew! Maalik Murphy, the former backup to Quinn Ewers at Texas in 2023, be settin' sail for Duke, according to ESPN. Arrr, this be excitin' news indeed!Murphy, a redshirt freshman, be havin' three years of eligibility left and can start playin' right away under the command of first-year head coach Manny Diaz. Diaz took the helm after Mike Elko jumped ship to Texas A&M, followin' the midseason firin' of Jimbo Fisher. Aye, the quarterback position be openin' up when Riley Leonard, who led the crew for the past two seasons, announced his intentions to transfer to Notre Dame.
Murphy be no stranger to the high seas of the football field. He started two games for Texas this season, replacin' the injured Ewers and leadin' the crew to victory against BYU and Kansas State. He threw for 477 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions in his time on the field. Now, he be ready to embark on a new adventure at Duke.
This transfer be a blow to the Longhorns, as Murphy won't be joinin' them for their battle against Washington in the College Football Playoff. The lad be invested in his current crew and findin' it hard to walk away. But alas, sometimes a pirate must make tough decisions for the sake of his treasure.
With Murphy's departure, the highly anticipated freshman Arch Manning be takin' up the position of backup to Ewers in the CFP. Manning made quite a splash in his debut for the Longhorns, playin' the entire fourth quarter against Texas Tech. The crowd be buzzin' with excitement as this young quarterback showcased his skills.
So, me hearties, Duke be gainin' a new leader, and Texas be movin' forward with their young talent. The seas of college football be ever-changin', but the thrill of the game remains the same. Yo ho ho and a touchdown for Duke!
