The Cincinnati Bearcats will open up the 2024 season on Saturday, August 31st at home against Towson at 2:30 local time. When they do, they will be using Brendan Sorsby under center to start the game.
On Thursday, Bearcats head coach Scott Satterfield announced the former Indiana Hoosiers quarterback would get the nod. He beat out third year Brady Lichtenberg and freshman Samaj Jones, each who will back him up.
Satterfield is very high on his quarterback and had this to say about him:
He has worked hard to learn the offense, and he’s made a lot of plays. I think he has earned the respect of his teammates, which is huge. There are so many little things that go into being the starter, and I think Brendan has handled himself well. He has a quiet confidence about himself but he shows humility too, which I like in a quarterback.
In two seasons with Indiana, Sorsby started seven games. Last season he threw for nearly 1,600 yards and 15 touchdowns. The signal caller grew up in Denton Texas and attended Lake Dallas High School. He chose Indiana originally over several other schools, but in December announced he would transfer to Cincinnati.
The Bearcats are projected at the bottom of the Big 12 standings in 2024. They start their conference season on September 21st at home against the Houston Cougars.
