Cincinnati Dives Into New QB Battle as Fall Camp Starts: 'We'll See How This Competition Works Out'

CINCINNATI — Bearcats offensive coordinator Brad Glenn gave his first in-depth thoughts about Cincinnati's offense as the team gets ready to start fall camp on Wednesday. Head coach Scott Satterfield primed the competition at the team's most important position.

Satterfield has preached an open evaluation, despite Brendan Sorsby being the clear favorite from the outside to land the job.

"Team oriented player coming from a quarterback position, which I really like," Satterfield said about Sorsby. "Really just fell in here trying to do the best he can for his teammates and everybody around him, but he's got a good release. He's got a good arm. He's changed his body tremendously. It's amazing. He came in around 241 (pounds) or so right in there. Now he's right around 228, he's running better. Looking good. So, you know, I think he should be a really good quarterback. I mean, one that, you know, we'll see how this competition works out here over the next few weeks."

Sorsby (69.3 PFF grade in 2023 on 553 snaps) performed much better against a power conference schedule than Brady Lichtenberg did last season (45.6 PFF grade on 91 snaps). Whoever is back there will have a very experienced offensive line protecting them.

"They (other teams) would all love to have that kind of experience coming back like we do, and especially with the type of offense we run," Glenn said about the offensive line. "Everything runs through the running game and our o-line, but just to have that chemistry and that camaraderie back, I mean, gives us a huge plus. And then when you couple that with Corey (Kiner) and the experience ahe has, it's definitely a security blanket for all of us."
