Who is Will Hammond? Why Texas Tech has high hopes at QB without Brendan Sorsby - The Athletic - The New York Times
Texas Tech is pinning its quarterback hopes on Will Hammond, an Eagle Scout who reportedly doesn't even own a TV. This unexpected focus follows the recent news that highly touted transfer Brendan Sorsby became ineligible due to gambling rule violations.
A potentially new quarterback era awaits Red Raider faithful packing Jones AT&T Stadium. Hammond's character offers a steadying presence for the team, possibly shifting the narrative from off-field issues back to Saturday success. His disciplined background might really connect with those looking for a solid, reliable leader under the lights. Coaches are clearly banking on his quiet determination to translate into big plays.
In an age of big NIL deals and constant transfer portal movement, Tech's new QB comes from a family still driving a minivan with a quarter million miles on it.
