Former Penn State star is reportedly leaving his alma mater for new role with the Bills

Trace McSorley leaves Penn State coaching after one year to join Buffalo Bills as offensive assistant, reuniting with Joe Brady on his first NFL head coaching staff.

  • On Feb. 26, 2026, Trace McSorley accepted a position with the Buffalo Bills as an offensive assistant, reuniting with Joe Brady, who first coached him at Penn State.
  • McSorley spent six seasons in the NFL before beginning his coaching career at Penn State in 2025 under James Franklin and was expected to be assistant quarterbacks coach in 2026.
  • He starred at Penn State from 2015-18, throwing 9,899 yards and 77 touchdowns while rushing for 1,697 yards and 30 TDs, and appeared in nine NFL games with 48 completions for 502 yards.
  • His exit removes planned support for Penn State's quarterback room with Jake Waters and Rocco Becht, and McSorley is the second coach from Matt Campbell's new staff to join the NFL this month.
  • The hire gives Brady quarterback experience as Trace McSorley joins the Buffalo Bills, owned by Penn State graduate Terry Pegula, reinforcing ties between the team and university.
