College Quarterback Enters Treatment Program for Gambling Addiction After Transfer

Quarterback Brendan Sorsby takes immediate leave from Texas Tech for gambling addiction treatment, receiving full support from the program as his season future remains uncertain.

  • On Monday, Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby announced an immediate leave of absence to address a gambling addiction, a decision the school confirmed in a statement.
  • Sorsby secured a reported $5 million deal to play for Texas Tech following his departure from Cincinnati, which sued him in Feb for allegedly breaching an NIL contract.
  • According to the lawsuit, Sorsby signed a contract requiring a $1 million buyout within 30 days if he transferred; in 35 career games and 31 starts, he recorded 7,208 passing yards and 60 TDs.
  • "We love Brendan and support his decision to seek professional help," head coach Joey McGuire said, as Texas Tech declined further comment to protect the integrity of the recovery process.
  • Sorsby, who began his career at Indiana, will focus on recovery as Texas Tech remains committed to fostering an environment where student-athletes feel empowered to prioritize mental health.
