The Buffalo Bills have hired yet another coach to work on Joe Brady's first staff as a head coach.

This guy was a college star in the Big Ten as Penn State's QB: Trace McSorley.

Many football fans will remember McSorley, who also played for a bit in the NFL after being a Baltimore Ravens draft pick.

Buffalo TV reporter Josh Reed shared the news on X on Thursday night:

"Trace McSorely is leaving PSU and taking a job with the Bills. The former NFL QB is Joe Brady’s latest addition and once again it’s from the college ranks— something that’s become more and more the trend. He will be an assistant on the offensive staff."

McSorley is just 30 years old, which makes it a particularly intriguing hire. His career as a quarterback is over. Now he's going to help a guy who is just nine months younger than him, Josh Allen, try to reach the promised land.

McSorley holds the Penn State single-season records for passing yards and touchdowns, and he holds the Nittany Lions' career record for total yards.

He's originally from Ashburn, Virginia, and he spent his whole college career at PSU.

In the NFL, he appeared in nine games, and he made a single start for the Arizona Cardinals in 2022. He threw just one touchdown and five interceptions as an NFL quarterback.

McSorley was on James Franklin's staff for the first time in 2025, and after Franklin was fired, it appeared McSorley was staying aboard under new head coach Matt Campbell.

Now, though, McSorley has found a new home in Buffalo, and it's a fun fit.
