Duffie led Cascia Hall to the 2026 Class 4A state championship, the school's first state title since 2009, and was named state tournament MVP. It was the Commandos' second straight season in the state title game. As a junior, he averaged 19.3 points, five rebounds, four assists and 2.3 steals while shooting 41 percent from three-point range, and he passed 1,000 career points that season.
His honors include Tulsa World Player of the Year, OBCA Class 4A Player of the Year, 2026 All-State First Team, 2026 All-Region 7 First Team and 2026 Pinnacle Conference MVP, as well as The Oklahoman's Super 5 third team.

A multi-sport athlete, Duffie earned Pinnacle Conference baseball all-district honors in 2026 and first-team honors in 2025, and All-Area baseball honors in 2025.
At Cascia Hall, Duffie is a student ambassador, a student council member, a Club Evolve member and a Kairos retreat leader and attendee.
"Keeping outstanding players from Tulsa at home is important to us, and we're excited Memphis has chosen ORU," said Barnett. "He has led his team to a state championship and shown he can score, create for teammates, and defend. Memphis makes the people around him better, and we know he will leave a lasting fingerprint on our program through the person he is every day. We're proud to welcome Memphis, his parents Tim and Autumn, and his brother Manhattan to our ORU family."
