“This has proven to be a landscape-altering offseason and we’ve been lucky to have a front row seat,” Greg Groggel, SVP Unscripted, Skydance Sports, added. “This series will present fans and viewers with an unprecedented window into everything that is defining college football today.”
“This documentary will give the Red Raider Nation an inside look at everything that makes Texas Tech Athletics special, the people, the passion, and the relentless pursuit of excellence that defines this program every day,” Kirby Hocutt, Director of Athletics at Texas Tech University, said. “We are incredibly proud that Paramount+ selected Texas Tech for a groundbreaking documentary with rare access.”
“Set in the intense world of college football, the docuseries follows the Texas Tech Red Raiders as Head Coach Joey McGuire builds a new team identity during a demanding offseason, ” Deadline reported. “Production began before transferring senior quarterback Brendan Sorsby lost a legal battle and was ruled ineligible after he checked himself into rehab for a gambling addiction in late April. He had placed tens of thousands of dollars in bets on games during his four-year NCAA playing career, including dozens of his own team’s games while at Indiana University.”

By capturing the raw, behind-the-scenes reality of Coach McGuire’s program, Paramount+ isn’t just delivering a treat for the Red Raider faithful — it’s providing a blueprint of what modern college football looks like.
