I don't blame him one bit. It's not his fault the timing of the transfer window sucks. He either leaves now and gets to be open to all opportunities or wait and be limited.

Also, he's the backup QB. The QB behind him is Arch Manning and the one in front of him is Quinn Ewers. If Ewers wasn't coming back, that'd be one thing, but most think he's coming back for another year. I don't think for a second that Arch isn't starting as soon as Ewers is gone.

2 - 5 ⭐️ QBs and a 5.9 4 ⭐️ who would have thunk it was possible

I think he's the PTBNL going back to Ohio State in the Ewers trade.

This is the beauty of the Portal—kid just wants to play football in live games. Good for freakin’ him. Who wants to be a backup? Having said that……………it really is pretty out of control at this point and I wish somebody would come up with a solution to rein it in…got to be a better way.

Another former Texas QB might be available too. Name rhymes with Tasey Chompson.

Texas has its starter and heir apparent. Murph can hold a clipboard for three more years, and graduate with a degree from UT, or bail and play football. With that said, it is nuts to bail before the playoff games. Ewers could slip in the shower and he's starting the national championship game.

Murphy and Arch were pretty much co-number twos by the end of the year. All signs point to Ewers coming back (makes the most sense). Arch will be the sole #2 by spring practice, even if Murphy had stayed.

Like mentioned above, the timing of early signing period, transfer portal, and playoffs is terrible. If Murphy wants to find a good landing spot, he's got to explore his options now. From everything I've heard about him, his teammates love the guy and I'm sure they wish him the best going forward. They've got complete confidence in Arch being just as capable as Murphy at this point in the season.

I give him credit for staying around the program long enough to contribute, even through the Ewers transfer in and the signing of Arch last year. He had plenty of offers to go somewhere else after the Spring Game.

Murphy is heading to tOSU


Bet one of the backups at tOSU transfers out now

You pretty much nailed it. He can see the writing on the wall with Manning. He hates to do it right now but the timing of the portal window leaves him no choice. Malik is a class act and works his tail off and I wish him well wherever he goes.

Just to follow up, I saw that somewhere but know if he’s actually going to OSU
I don’t see anything to this effect right now

Still holding out hope that he somehow ends up at Duke. I need some positive Duke football news after Elko left in the middle of the night for those Aggie weirdos.

He's not going to Ohio St.

Right, I meant to have a dont in there.

Yeah I still don't understand that move. It seems like a demotion to me. Leave a beautiful campus like Duke for a campus that looks like an Eastern block prison campus

This. I would look west at the California schools as a possible destination since he's from that area. I think Duke would be a great place for him because that's the school I can root for and I definitely want to root for Malik.

Thanks, finally some good Duke football news!

I think Syracuse needs a QB after the show they put on in their bowl game against South Florida.
