Brendan Sorsby's gambling probe clouds his NFL future -- even the supplemental draft looks unlikely

  • This week, Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby announced he is entering a residential treatment program for gambling addiction. The NCAA is investigating Sorsby after reports he placed thousands of online bets via a gambling application over four years.
  • Investigations revealed Sorsby placed thousands of bets on various sports, including Indiana football games during his 2022 freshman season. NCAA guidelines mandate that student-athletes wagering on their own sports face permanent loss of collegiate eligibility in all sports.
  • Cincinnati Athletics received alerts in August 2025 that Sorsby was gambling prior to the 2025 season. Despite this notification, Sorsby appeared in 12 games for Cincinnati during the 2025 campaign, potentially exposing the university to NCAA scrutiny.
  • Sorsby's status for the upcoming season remains in limbo as he seeks professional help. Texas Tech officials, who recruited the transfer quarterback, now face significant roster uncertainty following discovery of his extensive wagering history.
  • NFL executives have deemed Sorsby 'untouchable' due to his gambling history, casting doubt on his professional future. Analysts believe the NFL would likely reject any petition from Sorsby to enter a supplemental draft.
