Texas football transfer portal departures, where are they now?
QB
Maalik Murphy-Duke
Redshirt sophomore Maalik Murphy was one of the high-profile Power Five quarterback transfers in the portal early this offseason. He transferred from Texas to Duke after spending the first two years of his collegiate career in Austin.
Murphy went 2-0 as Texas's starting quarterback, winning two key games at home in Big 12 play last season. He is expected to compete for the starting quarterback job at Duke entering the 2024 season. Murphy is reportedly (per The News & Observer) settling into the competition at Duke, displaying his immense arm talent during spring ball in Durham.
Charles Wright-Appalachian State
Grad transfer quarterback Charles Wright spent four seasons at Texas as a reserve in the QB room. He took snaps in a handful of games in garbage time at Texas.

Savion Red-TBA
Ky Woods-Nevada
Former walk-on Texas running back Ky Woods joined new head coach and former Texas co-DC Jeff Choate with the Nevada Wolfpack.
WR

Isaiah Neyor's story at Texas leaves the Burnt Orange faithful wondering what could've been. Neyor's once-promising career at Texas was halted due to injury issues in the last two years.
Neyor is looking to rejuvenate his collegiate career with the Nebraska Cornhuskers and head coach Matt Rhule.
