Overview
- Sorsby breakes his public silence in a Paramount+ documentary by admitting regret and describing how his gambling grew into an addiction.
- He says he began gambling legally in Oklahoma at 18, moved from table games to sports betting, and placed bets on Indiana games while on the scout team.
- Sorsby reports the behavior continued after he transferred to Texas Tech, that he was chasing a dopamine hit, and that he entered a residential rehab program after being exposed.
- The scandal led to his suspension, a legal fight over his eligibility, a June split with Texas Tech, and the NFL’s decision not to hold a 2026 supplemental draft pick for him, leaving him out for this season but eligible for the 2027 NFL Draft.
- The case highlights how legal betting access and strict NCAA/NFL rules can end careers, and it has strained Sorsby’s relationships while leaving his professional future and public reputation uncertain.
