Open Extended ReactionsFormer Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby, the top player in the NCAA transfer portal, is committing to Texas Tech, Sorsby told ESPN on Sunday. He said he was blown away by Texas Tech's facilities and appreciated the culture set there by the coaching staff. For 2026, Texas Tech lured perhaps the biggest -- and likely most expensive -- acquisition yet. Texas Tech has earned a reputation for being one of the sport's biggest spenders; ESPN's Max Olson reported that the Red Raiders spent more than $3 million on edge rusher David Bailey last year. But the campaign ended with a thud in the CFP, as Oregon shut out the Red Raiders and held them to 215 total yards in a 23-0 blowout.
