Duke is latest school to offer four-star quarterback prospect Matt Zollers

Duke extends an offer to four-star QB Matt Zollers.

Maalik Murphy is firmly entrenched as Duke’s starting quarterback for this season and likely the next, barring some unforeseen circumstances.

The depth behind Murphy is also solid, with Henry Belin and Grayson Loftis both having earned playing time during the 2023-2024 season due to unfortunate injuries to the guys in front of them.

Duke didn’t sign a single QB prospect for their 2024 class, so finding one for their 2025 class is most important. In an attempt to do that, Duke offered 2025 four-star QB Matt Zollers out of Spring-Ford High School in Pennsylvania.

Zollers stands just under 6-foot-4 and has athleticism in spades. He has played basketball and baseball for high school, and his footwork shows on his HUDL tape. He has the processing speed needed to be a Power Five quarterback.

Zollers’ recruitment has been going for a while, though, and he already has a top four of Georgia, Penn State, Pittsburgh, and Missouri. Duke will have a mountain to overcome, but they have to offer even to have a shot.

Texas Football Recruiting: Ranking the Longhorns’ 2022 quarterback targets

The biggest off the field question seems to be the QB that headlines UT’s ’22 recruiting class. Here are the five potential QBs ranked.

The biggest off the field question surrounding this Texas football team seems to be who will be the quarterback that headlines the Longhorns’ 2022 recruiting class. A cycle loaded with talent from top to bottom, whoever Steve Sarkisian decides to end up taking is going to be the quarterback of the future.

It all begins with one man out of Southlake Carroll High School in five-star and 1.000 rated prospect Quinn Ewers. The once Texas commit has been seen as the quarterback who can be the next Vince Young or Colt McCoy and lead the Longhorns to another national championship. However, he backed off his pledge and is currently committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Sarkisian’s first recruiting assignment will be locking down the 2022 quarterback. Tom Herman’s staff sent out offers to five prospects in Ewers, Malik Murphy, Cade Klubnik, Ty Simpson, and Conner Weigman. Three reside in the state of Texas, while Murphy is a west coast product and Simpson resides in SEC country. Snagging a commitment from any of them would be huge for Texas.

However, it is likely there will only be one. Here are those five ranked in order of how interested the Longhorns should be in them.
