08/30/24 - Maalik Murphy, rSo/2027, Duke + More +

Jaquez Moore, Jeremiah Hasley and Eli Pancol scored short touchdowns while Duke's defense racked up eight sacks as the Blue Devils beat Elon 26-3 on Friday night in their first game under Manny Diaz. It wasn't a big offensive day for Duke (1-0), which often had to grind its way through drives while quarterback Maalik Murphy - a touted transfer from Texas - struggled to connect deep on multiple tries and threw a fourth-quarter pick as he tried to push one ball downfield. Still, the Blue Devils' defense didn't need much help, repeatedly swarming the line of scrimmage and getting to seventh-year quarterback Matthew Downing. The Blue Devils had three sacks in the first two possessions, tallied five by halftime and never let Downing - who had stops at Georgia, TCU and Louisiana Tech - get comfortable.

Elon (0-1), a Championship Subdivision program chasing its first win against a Bowl Subdivision foe, finished with just 140 total yards. Jack Berkowitz kicked a 39-yard field goal with 14 seconds left to avoid the shutout. Moore scored Duke's first touchdown from 7 yards out around the left side with less than a minute before halftime, while Hasley had a 1-yard snag in the right flat from Murphy midway through the third quarter for a 19-0 lead. Murphy added a clinching score, zipping a 7-yard throw to Pancol near the left pylon to make it 26-0 with 4:06 left. He finished with 291 yards on 26-for-40 passing. - AP College Football

12/04/22 - Al Blades Jr., rSr/2024, Duke + More +

Two more Miami Hurricanes began the process of entering the transfer portal Thursday, bringing to nine the number of confirmed players who are taking that step. According to a source, wide receiver Keyshawn Smith is entering the portal, a move that was expected. And safety Al Blades Jr. also entered the portal, which wasn't necessarily expected. Smith had 41 catches for 589 yards in 19 games during three seasons at UM, including 13 receptions for 199 yards (a 15.3 average) and two touchdown this past season. He was very good as a returner early this past season, returning 21 kickoffs for 641 yards (a 30.5 average) and a touchdown. But he did not play in Miami's final three games. Smith was a late addition to the 2020 class, after flipping his commitment from Washington State.

Blades played a lot at cornerback in 2019 and 2020, starting a combined 14 games and hauling in two interceptions each of those seasons. He was limited to two games in 2021 because of injuries and played 138 snaps this past season as a backup safety. He had 91 tackles, the four picks and 14 passes defended in his five seasons at Miami. Rivals rated Blades the 59th-best player in the 2018 class. Blades, who attended Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas, is the son of deceased former Miami Hurricanes star safety Al Blades Sr. and the nephew of former UM stars Bennie Blades and Brian Blades. - Miami Herald
