Texas Tech Lands QB Brendan Sorsby on Reported $5 Million NIL Deal

LSU trailed with a $3.5 million Playfly proposal that spotlights third‑party workarounds to a new revenue‑sharing cap.

Overview

  • The Cincinnati transfer committed after visits to both programs and is expected to be Texas Tech’s 2026 starting quarterback, according to multiple reports.
  • Documents obtained by Yahoo Sports show LSU’s 11-page Playfly offer was an unsigned, prospective service agreement that referenced additional university revenue sharing.
  • The reported one‑year payout would place Sorsby among the highest‑paid college quarterbacks and exceeds Shedeur Sanders’ $4.6 million four‑year NFL rookie contract.
  • Texas Tech marked the commitment with a Times Square billboard, and reporting credits booster Cody Campbell with helping fuel the program’s big spending.
  • Sorsby’s 2025 breakout—about 2,800 passing yards with 27 touchdowns and five interceptions plus 580 rushing yards and nine scores—drove his value in the portal.
