Maalik Murphy, a former Texas quarterback, is receiving interest through the transfer portal from USC, Georgia, etc.
In 2024, Maalik Murphy will decide where to use his skills during the college football season.
Maalik Murphy, a former quarterback for Texas football, has to make difficult choices now that he’s on the College Football Transfer Portal. After spending some time with Quinn Ewers of the Longhorns, Murphy is now concentrating on showing off his skills somewhere else. Possible suitors for the rookie quarterback include USC, Georgia, and other teams.
Many universities, including USC, Georgia, South Carolina, Syracuse, Baylor, Oregon State, and Duke, are interested in Murphy, according to On3 Sports (h/t Pete Thamel). Murphy wishes to explore his options even though Texas qualified for the College Football Playoffs.
His contributions have helped the Texas football team succeed despite formidable competition, even though his stats are not as impressive as those of fellow quarterback Quinn Ewers. Throughout the season, Murphy accumulated 477 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. Furthermore, he kept his QBR at 46.0.
Given the way the season has gone, USC and Georgia—two of Murphy’s top suitors—would make suitable fits. Prior to going on a late losing streak, USC was a CFP contender. Caleb Williams, the team’s star quarterback, is anticipated to leave for the NFL draft. Therefore, Murphy might be able to get a spot.
Furthermore, the Georgia Bulldogs have been regarded as the top team in the nation for the majority of the previous two seasons. However, their hopes of making the CFP were dashed by a defeat to Alabama in the SEC Championship. There’s no doubt that the Bulldogs will lose talented players to the NFL Draft. Maalik Murphy can also play on such a legendary program because of his experience from his time playing football in Texas.
Fans are curious as to which team will acquire Murphy’s services as speculation about the College Football Transfer Portal intensifies.
