Former Cincinnati Bearcats quarterback and current Texas Tech Red Raiders quarterback, Brendan Sorsby, is facing eligibility concerns after he was placed on leave of absence after gambling concerns while he was at the University of Indiana and the University of Cincinnati before his senior-year stop in Lubbock, Texas.
It was reported that Sorsby gambled on the Hoosiers while he was on the team in 2022, a year before Curt Cignetti showed up. While he did gamble on his own team while an active player, bets were made in games where he did not appear, and he only bet on his team to win. The NCAA has set the precedent that if a player bets on a team he is actively a part of, they forfeit their NCAA eligibility. It has been announced by a number of sources that Sorsby has retained "noted" lawyer Jeffrey Kessler to try to regain his college eligibility. Kessler is recognized as one of the nation's top sports antitrust and labor lawyers. Kessler notably defended Tom Brady in the Deflategate case. But if they are not successful in regaining Sorsby's eligibility, then the NFL's Supplemental Draft would likely be the next option. Sorsby would have until June 30th to declare for the supplemental draft, and teams would then have the option to bid picks from the 2027 NFL Draft in return for Sorsby. The draft would likely take place sometime in July before training camps. Some notable players to be selected in the supplemental draft are wide receiver Josh Gordon and quarterback Terrelle Pryor.
