WATCH: Maalik Murphy throws first touchdown in Duke uniform to Jordan Moore

Maalik Murphy, who transferred from Texas this winter, notched his first touchdown at Wallace Wade Stadium with a long heave to star receiver Jordan Moore.

Duke fans got their first looks at the Blue Devils 2024 football team on Saturday afternoon during the spring Blue & White Game.

For most fans, the biggest headlines revolved around new quarterback Maalik Murphy, who transferred from Texas over the winter. Murphy got his chances to lead the Duke offense during game scenarios, and the redshirt sophomore showed off his dizzying arm talent over and over again.

It took until the second half of Saturday’s scrimmage for Murphy to toss his first touchdown in Duke colors, but he threw it to the most expected target.

With a little more than eight minutes left on the clock, the new Blue Devils signal-caller turned toward the right sideline and launched an arching pass toward star receiver Jordan Moore. Moore, blanketed by top corner Chandler Rivers, made an eye-popping contested catch for the first trip to the end zone.

Rivers made Moore work for it, wrestling with him for the ball on the ground for nearly a minute, but the touchdown stood. The score pulled the Duke offense within four points of the defense, who still led 17-13 after the touchdown.
