Overview
- Sorsby declared for the 2026 NFL Supplemental Draft on Monday after dropping his lawsuit against the NCAA and leaving Texas Tech.
- He publicly admitted a gambling disorder, told investigators he placed roughly $90,000 in sports wagers including bets tied to his college teams, and completed a residential treatment program.
- NFL teams and commissioner Roger Goodell are reviewing his supplemental-draft eligibility while clubs run expedited medical and behavioral checks ahead of a pro day scheduled for July 10.
- Early league and analyst evaluations generally place Sorsby in the Day‑2 range roughly equivalent to a second-round pick, but multiple franchises including reported sources close to the Jets and Browns are reluctant to spend that draft capital because of reputational and disciplinary risk.
- The supplemental draft is a blind-bid process in which the winning team forfeits the corresponding pick in the following year’s draft, so any club that selects Sorsby would sacrifice 2027 draft capital and accept the chance of NFL discipline or further fallout.
