Overview

  • The former Cincinnati quarterback committed after a 48‑hour swing of visits to Texas Tech and LSU during the early January transfer window.
  • Sorsby is expected to start in 2026 for the Red Raiders with one year left, filling the vacancy created by Morton's departure.
  • He earned second-team All-Big 12 honors in 2025 after throwing for 2,800 yards and 27 touchdowns and adding 580 rushing yards with nine scores.
  • Texas Tech, fresh off a Big 12 title and a CFP appearance that ended with a 23-0 loss to Oregon, has become an aggressive portal spender; financial terms for Sorsby were not disclosed, though reporting pegs top quarterbacks near $5 million and boosters have pledged major investment.
  • LSU, which hosted Sorsby over the weekend, is expected to pivot to other targets such as Arizona State transfer Sam Leavitt, who is slated to visit Baton Rouge.
