The saga around Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby is taking another turn. After being ruled ineligible to play due to gambling on games by the NCAA, Sorsby sought an injunction against the NCAA. He won the injunction and was going to be required to serve a two-game suspension. This led to backlash from the Big 12 board of directors, calling for sanctions on Texas Tech.
As other coaches, players, and analysts all give an opinion on the idea of Sorsby playing for Texas Tech, it now seems to be a moot point. Sorsby is applying to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
“Star QB Brendan Sorsby is applying to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft, sources tell NFL Network. After legal wrangling about his NCAA eligibility, Sorsby — regarded as a first-round talent — now could be the highest-drafted supplemental pick in decades,” Pelissero posted on X, formerly Twitter.
The quarterback will petition the NFL to be allowed to enter the supplemental draft, and if approved, teams will privately submit bids on what round they are willing to draft him. If they are successful, the team will forfeit that round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. The deadline to formally apply for the supplemental draft is June 22, meaning more legal wrangling could have put the chance to play in the NFL in peril for Sorsby.
