Former Texas quarterback Maalik Murphy has verbally committed to join Duke, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel.

A formal announcement is expected soon, the sources said. He'll be immediately eligible with three years remaining, giving first-year coach Manny Diaz a key building block to start his tenure.

Murphy started a pair of home games for Texas this season, home wins over BYU and Kansas State, when starter Quinn Ewers was out because of an injury. Murphy threw for 477 yards and three touchdowns over the two games.
