Brendan Sorsby
Quarterback prospect. Currently ineligible for 2026 draft; targeting 2027 entry after NCAA and NFL regulatory battles.
Quick Facts
- Position: QB
- College: Texas Tech
- Eligibility: 2027 NFL Draft (declined 2026 supplemental draft following NFL rejection)
2026 Outlook
Sorsby remains outside competition following NCAA and NFL eligibility saga. He placed approximately $90K in bets across Indiana, Cincinnati, and Texas Tech while dealing with gambling addiction. Granted temporary NCAA injunction in June 2026 reinstatement, but NFL rejected his supplemental draft application citing insufficient review time and integrity concerns. Will spend 2026 in training and counseling in Dallas. Faces potential suspension if he reaches 2027 draft (per Inside Brendan Sorsby's eligibility saga and the scars it left).
Regulatory Status
- NCAA: Granted temporary injunction in June 2026, reinstating eligibility
- NFL: Rejected supplemental draft application; cited insufficient review time and integrity concerns; ongoing investigation
- Decision: Withdrew from supplemental draft, will target 2027 draft entry
Background
Texas Tech QB dealt with gambling disorder across three schools. NFL investigation flagged repeated violations, attempts to mask bets through intermediaries, and lack of demonstrated contrition as reasons for rejection.
Open Questions
- Will Sorsby face NFL suspension upon entering 2027 draft?
- Can he rebuild his reputation during 2026 recovery period?
- Will his gambling disorder resurface post-NFL entry?
