New Texas coach Steve Sarkisian got a commitment from the No. 2-ranked quarterback in the 2022 class on Saturday when Maalik Murphy announced his commitment to the Longhorns.
Murphy is a 6-foot-5, 220-pound signal caller from Junipero Serra High School in Gardena, California. He chose Texas over offers from Baylor, Florida, Miami, Oregon, Penn State, UCLA and others.
As the No. 2 ranked quarterback in the class, and the No. 16 prospect overall, Murphy is ranked behind quarterback Quinn Ewers, the No. 1 overall recruit. Ewers had been committed to the Longhorns, but decommitted in October, and flipped to Ohio State.
