CINCINNATI — Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby told Dan Hoard on the Lets Reign Podcast that he's slimmed down a bit ahead of the Bearcats' fall camp, dropping roughly 15 pounds this year.

It's made him faster, more agile, and ready to take on this offense as he looks to emulate NFL quarterback Josh Allen.

"If we were doing this back in January, I wouldn't have been able to make it through," Sorsby said on the show. "I probably dropped around like 15 pounds or so trying to lose a couple more, obviously just putting muscle on and all that good stuff. It wasn't truly hard. Coach Niko (Palazeti) is doing a great job with the strength program and all the other pieces that go into that but it's been a blast this offseason, and I just can't wait to put it to good use."

Sorsby confirmed he got interest from USC and Lincoln Riley after he signed with Cincinnati, but he was already locked in and ready to lift the Bearcats from a 3-9 last-place record in the Big 12.

"I was already in Cincinnati, wasn't going to entertain it at all," Sorsby confirmed. "I knew Cincinnati was the right fit for me and nobody else could change that."

The sophomore passer has uncorked a few great-looking deep balls so far this camp. Cincinnati's offense lacked majorly on that front last season and could gain a lot of breathing room if it hits a few more bombs, Sorsby had a 79.6 PFF grade on passes of 20-plus yards last season (39 attempts) to Emory Jones's 61.8 PFF grade on the same throws (48 attempts).
