The prominent attorney will seek a negotiated resolution as Sorsby faces possible permanent ineligibility under NCAA gambling rules.
- Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby has retained prominent antitrust attorney Jeffrey Kessler to challenge an ongoing NCAA gambling investigation and protect his collegiate eligibility.

- According to On3, Sorsby placed more than 10,000 sports wagers since 2022, while Kessler's role as lead attorney in House v. NCAA brings significant legal weight to the eligibility fight.
- If negotiations fail, Kessler is prepared to take the NCAA to court, sources told CBS Sports, with Sorsby potentially declaring for the NFL's supplemental draft by June 30 as a fallback option.
- Operating under court-imposed constraints from the House resolution, the NCAA faces a potential high-profile antitrust challenge that the association will likely approach with caution.
