The University of Texas has a QB room that rivals the glory years of the program when Vince Young and Colt Mccoy were at the helm. During that span, the University of Texas went to two national championship games, winning one against Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush and the USC Trojans. Coincidentally, Steve Sarkisian who currently coaches the Longhorns, was a playcaller on that USC team that lost to Vince Young and Texas. Now, with four very talented quarterbacks on or projected to join his roster, Sark looks to return Texas to the days of Vince Young and Colt Mccoy. The issue (a good issue) is that not all of these quarterbacks can play at one time. Most people have deemed it a foregone conclusion that Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning are the quarterbacks of the future for the Longhorns. There is a large group of people however that think that Maalik Murphy, the 4-star QB out of Gardena, CA is the type of signal caller and leader that has been missing at the 40 acres for the large part of a decade. One of those people is John Davis, who covered Maalik in high school for the Long Beach press telegram. John joins Locked on Longhorns all the way from California to discuss what makes Maalik special on and off the field. From his huge “Cam Newton” like frame, to his rocket arm (can throw 70 yards with ease), to his work ethic and leadership off the field. There is certainly a lot to like about Maalik Murphy and you can certainly understand why Sark made his commitment a priority. On the same token, you can say the same about Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning. Whoever gets the start remains to be seen, but if you take two things from this interview, the first is that whoever is going to be the starter at the University of Texas is going to be really good and the second is, don’t EVER count Maalik Murphy out.
