Former Duke quarterback Maalik Murphy is transferring to Oregon State, he confirmed to ESPN's Pete Thamel.

"Felt like a great opportunity, and I really felt welcomed and wanted there," Murphy said to Thamel. "I was made a priority, and that's all I could ask for. I'm excited to be a Beaver and get out there with the guys."

Murphy is leaving Duke after just one year, though it was a historic one. The signal-caller threw a school-record 26 touchdown passes in 2024 and led the Blue Devils to their first nine-win regular season since 2014.

He completed 60.3% of his passes for 2,933 yards. His 12 interceptions were the most in the ACC.

Oregon State hosted Murphy for a visit before his commitment. He has two years of college eligibility remaining.

Murphy spent two seasons at Texas before his Duke stint. He made two starts for the Longhorns in 2023, winning both.
