2022 Gardena Serra quarterback Maalik Murphy commits to Texas Longhorns football

Class of 2022 Gardena Serra quarterback Maalik Murphy committed to Texas on Saturday, he announced on social media.

247Sports.com ranks Murphy as the No. 62 prospect nationally in the 2022 class. He's the fifth rated player in California. Murphy threw for 305 yards in limited varsity game time a year ago.

“We have a fantastic quarterback in Maalik," Serra head coach Scott Altenberg told SBLive in December. "It’s his turn. He hasn’t started a game yet at Serra High School yet and he’s a five-star kid. He’s smart and poised. He’s got every tool in the book and he’s a great kid. Maalik learned a lot from Doug Brumfield last season, who’s now at UNLV. He’s going to be great.”
