Paramount+ just dropped some big news for college football fans. They’re rolling out a four-episode sports docuseries that dives deep into the Texas Tech Red Raiders football team.
This series promises a behind-the-scenes look at the team during a wild, high-stakes offseason. It’ll focus on head coach Joey McGuire, his staff, and the student-athletes as they try to carve out a new team identity for 2026.
There’s going to be real, unfiltered access to the program’s inner workings. If you’re into college football or sports docs—or both—this one’s probably going on your watchlist.
The Creators and Production
Micah Brown is directing and executive producing. You might know his name from Coach Prime or Untold: Sign Stealer.
Skydance Sports is producing, teaming up with Second Wind Creative. They’re the folks who did that Dallas Cowboys/Jerry Jones series for Netflix.
The crew’s been around Texas Tech since January 2026. They’ve been there for everything—team meetings, spring practices, you name it.
Unparalleled Access
This time, fans really do get a VIP pass. Cameras are rolling through meetings, workouts, recruiting sessions, and practices.
It’s not every day a college football program lets the world peek behind the curtain like this. That’s what makes it so interesting, right?
Why Texas Tech?
Why Texas Tech? Well, their national profile is on the rise, and their fans are, frankly, kind of obsessed.
After a breakout 2025 and some big names coming in through the transfer portal, the Red Raiders are becoming a team to watch. And since Texas Tech already pops up on Paramount+ thanks to Taylor Sheridan’s Landman, this series just kind of makes sense for the platform.
The Brendan Sorsby Saga
The Brendan Sorsby story is probably the most dramatic part. He’s the projected starting quarterback, and his journey’s been anything but smooth.
Sorsby checked into rehab in April 2026 for a gambling addiction. The NCAA ruled him ineligible, but after a Texas court battle, his suspension dropped to two games—still, he can’t enter the NFL Supplemental Draft.
This ongoing situation brings real tension and a lot of questions. How did the program handle it? The series is finally going to show us.
Key Highlights of the Docuseries
- The Inside Track on Roster Building & NIL: Joey McGuire and some major boosters are all-in on building a top transfer portal class, putting the spotlight on the wild world of NIL recruiting.
- The Brendan Sorsby Saga: You’ll see the rollercoaster offseason around Sorsby—his gambling struggles, rehab, legal fights, and ultimately, his exit from the team.
- Exclusive All-Access Footage: Expect to see team meetings, tough offseason workouts, and spring practices as the Red Raiders try to build on 2025 and chase a national title in 2026.
Release Date
Paramount+ hasn’t nailed down an exact release date yet. The four-part docuseries is set to drop before the 2026 college football season kicks off.
That should give fans a chance to catch it and maybe get a little extra pumped for the season ahead.
