Texas Tech quarterback Will Hammond (knee) was seen at practice wearing a brace on his surgically repaired knee, but the sophomore was "bouncing around fine," as shown in an X post by Jarret Johnson of InsideRedRaiders.com. Hammond suffered a torn ACL in the team's November 25 win over Oklahoma State but has a chance to be ready for Week 1. Following the departure of Cincinnati transfer Brendan Sorsby, Hammond is slated to start for the College Football Playoff-hopeful Red Raiders in 2026. In 12 career games, Hammond has completed 62.7% of his passes for 1,151 yards, nine touchdowns, and five interceptions. He'll be surrounded by elite talent in the Big 12, but it remains to be seen if he can be a legit high-end starter capable of taking the program further than the opening game of the CFP.--Jackson Sparks - RotoBaller
