Texas Tech<\/a> got its guy. <\/p>\n

Brendan Sorsby, an ex-Cincinnati quarterback and the nation\u2019s top portal player, will play in Lubbock for the 2026 season, according to multiple reports. <\/p>\n

He was the Red Raiders\u2019 first official visit Friday<\/a> before taking a visit to LSU. After leaving Lubbock without a commitment, Texas Tech scheduled a visit for Ex-Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt<\/a>. <\/p>\n

On3 reported that Leavitt was dealing with travel delays on Sunday afternoon, preventing him from arriving in Lubbock at his expected time. On3\u2019s Pete Nakos and Steve Wilfong then logged a prediction for Texas Tech to land Sorsby. Minutes later, On3 announced LSU was going to host Leavitt on a visit. <\/p>\n

ESPN\u2019s Pete Thamel reported that Sorsby left Baton Rouge, Louisiana, around 6 p.m. CST and told both coaches he would make a decision Sunday night. The commitment was made official at 9:36 p.m. CST, but Sorsby\u2019s arrival had been expected since his name was in the portal from the start. <\/p>\n

His portal announcement post was reposted by Texas Tech general manager James Blanchard, and a multitude of Texas Tech players commented on the same post. His girlfriend, Gretchen Sigman, also committed to Texas Tech volleyball<\/a> on Dec. 15.<\/p>\n

Sorsby was considering declaring for the NFL Draft before his eventual commitment. He threw for 2,800 yards and 27 touchdowns in 2025 with five interceptions. He also rushed for nine more.<\/p>\n

As of Sunday, Texas Tech has gotten Sorsby two offensive weapons out of the portal in Alabama State\u2019s Jalen Jones and Liberty\u2019s Donte Lee Jr. <\/p>\n
