Maalik Murphy Named Starting QB for Duke Blue Devils

Monday afternoon Duke officially announced redshirt sophmore Maalik Murphy to serve as QB1 ahead of Duke's opener .

Maalik Murphy who transfered into the program in January after playing for the Texas Longhorns for two seasons competed throughout Spring camp in a highly anticipated battle with Grayson Loftis who orchestrated the offense last season with former Blue Devil, Riley Leonard.

Under the Longhorns Murphy finished with a .563 passing completion rating (40-71) which accounted for 477 yards, with 3 touchdowns, to 3 interceptions.

The QB group consists of Henry Belin and Grayson Loftis who both accounted for meaningful minutes a season ago, alongside Donald Tomlin, Cole Kennon, and Rent Montie.

The Manny Diaz, Maalik Murphy era begins next Friday night, August 30th 7:30 versus Elon.
