CINCINNATI — Brendan Sorsby is back in the mix for Cincinnati next season. ESPN's Pete Thamel reported the promising young quarterback agreed to a new deal with the Bearcats and will be back for Scott Satterfield's third campaign.

Sorsby just earned Big 12 honorable mention status and is the brightest spot of the Satterfield tenure so far as a clear hit at the most important position in football. He ranked 29th nationally in ESPN's QBR metric after passing for 2,813 yards, 18 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He also ran for 445 yards on 4.2 yards per carry (impressive when accounting for 17 sacks) and nine touchdowns.

The redshirt sophomore was hamstrung by pass-catcher drops (10 in final three games according to PFF) and some inaccurate throws on his end down the stretch. Still, he proved to be a clear gamer at the position and a player Cincinnati can build around as he levels up again.
