Report: QB Brendan Sorsby to visit LSU, Texas Tech

Former Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby, one of the top signal-callers available in the transfer portal, is set to make visits to LSU and Texas Tech, ESPN reported Friday.

Sorsby is ranked as ESPN's best available player in the transfer portal. There are more than 4,000 players available in the portal, according to the report.

Sorsby threw for 2,800 yards and 27 touchdowns with five interceptions in 12 games as the Bearcats went 7-5. He also ran for 580 yards and nine scores.

In three full Division I seasons, Sorsby has passed for 7,200 yards and 60 touchdowns. He was at Cincinnati for two seasons after playing in 2023 at Indiana. He also had three completions during one game at Indiana in 2022.

Texas Tech advanced to the current College Football Playoff but lost 23-0 to Oregon in the quarterfinals Thursday. The Red Raiders had just 137 passing yards in the defeat.

LSU finished 7-6 after firing head coach Brian Kelly in October. Lane Kiffin was hired as the new LSU head coach, leaving Ole Miss, which remains alive in the playoffs.

The Tigers' last CFP appearance was their national title following the 2019 season.
