Paramount+ is chronicling the Texas Tech football team’s offseason in a new, upcoming docuseries.
The series, which is currently untitled, follows the team through the most recent offseason. Cameras began rolling in January 2026, and the four-episode documentary is expected to premiere ahead of this year’s college football season. It’s from director and showrunner Micah Brown (Coach Prime, Untold: Sign Stealer).
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. 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.
“This has proven to be a landscape-altering offseason and we’ve been lucky to have a front-row seat,” said Greg Groggel, SVP Unscripted at Skydance Sports. “This series will present fans and viewers with an unprecedented window into everything that is defining college football today.”
