Texas Tech has landed Cincinnati transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby, the consensus top player in the January 2026 transfer portal, in a deal reportedly worth around $5 million in NIL compensation for the upcoming season.
The 6-foot-3, 235-pound dual-threat QB chose the Red Raiders over LSU following visits to both programs. His commitment comes days after Texas Tech’s 23-0 loss to Oregon in the Orange Bowl, capping a 2025 season that saw the Red Raiders win the Big 12 and reach the College Football Playoff.
