LSU Intensifies Push for Top Transfer QB Brendan Sorsby as Decision Nears

A two-week portal window creates urgency as LSU seeks an immediate starter.

Overview

  • Brendan Sorsby, ESPN’s top available player, visited Texas Tech on Friday before meeting LSU staff in Baton Rouge on Saturday, according to multiple reports.
  • On3 reports that offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. flew to Baton Rouge to join Lane Kiffin’s recruitment of Sorsby.
  • Sources cited by On3 say Sorsby’s decision is expected within 24–48 hours, with LSU and Texas Tech viewed as the finalists.
  • LSU’s pursuit follows Garrett Nussmeier heading to the NFL and Michael Van Buren Jr. entering the portal, leaving the Tigers thin at quarterback.
  • The NCAA’s Jan. 2–16 transfer window has concentrated movement in a quarterback market where elite transfers are being linked to NIL offers near or above $5 million.
