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

- Decision: Withdrew from supplemental draft, will target 2027 draft entry
Background
