Summary

Texas Tech quarterback Will Hammond is recovering from a torn ACL and may be ready to play by Week 1. Hammond, a four-star prospect, had a promising freshman season before the injury. His recovery is crucial as the team’s starter, Brendan Sorsby, is uncertain due to a gambling addiction. Hammond’s private quarterback coach reports that his knee is “getting better at a rapid pace.” The standard recovery time for a torn ACL is six to nine months, which would put Hammond on track for early August.


Our Reading

The routine arrives with confidence.

Will Hammond’s ACL recovery is a rapid process. He’s already throwing without issue. The standard recovery time is six to nine months, but he might be ready by Week 1. Texas Tech’s season starts with winnable games, so they might not rush him back. The only concern is if they will rush him, which could do more harm than good.

The injury is just a minor setback for a quarterback who’s already being hailed as the future of the program.
