Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby is reportedly set to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft, potentially reshaping his controversial career. This move comes as Sorsby’s lawyers withdraw their lawsuit against the NCAA, clearing the path for his entry into the draft.
Sorsby's decision follows a recent Texas court ruling that granted him an injunction allowing him to play for Texas Tech in the 2026 season, despite his involvement in a gambling scandal. The NCAA and Big 12 are pushing for harsher penalties beyond his current two-game suspension, escalating the tension surrounding his situation.
The scandal first emerged in April, when Sorsby disclosed he had placed over $90,000 in bets over four years and admitted to wagering against his own team during the 2022-2023 season. After transferring from Indiana to Cincinnati and then to Texas Tech, Sorsby is now viewed as a top prospect.
If approved, he could be the first player chosen in the NFL Supplemental Draft since 2019 and potentially a first-round selection, marking a significant milestone since 1992. NFL Draft analyst Rob Rang grades Sorsby as a Round 2 prospect, highlighting his considerable upside. In 2025, Sorsby threw for 2,800 yards, 27 touchdowns, and five interceptions at Cincinnati, showcasing his potential.
