Since committing in February, Maalik Murphy has been the anchor in Texas’ 2022 recruiting class. Nobody has been talking to and attracting other prospects to Austin harder than the four-star quarterback.
After being the backup quarterback for two seasons, Murphy has finally been able to get on the field as the starter. On Friday, Serra went up against Bishop Amat, picking up a 38-17 win.
Texas’ future quarterback had another decent day, with Serra scoring the most points they have all season. Beto Duran of DuranSports posted a couple of highlights of Murphy’s performance. A 35-yard deep ball and a rushing touchdown feature.

Development is the word that comes to mind when discussing Murphy. He has little experience, only starting in five games during high school. Most highly rated quarterbacks want to start immediately but that will not be the case with the California product. Steve Sarkisian will take the time to develop him, making sure he is ready before he shines at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
Murphy and Serra have one more game against Alemany next Friday.
