Brendan Sorsby Enters NFL Supplemental Draft as League Reviews His Eligibility

His move shifts the fight from Texas courtrooms to NFL offices where teams must balance his talent against possible discipline and legal fallout.

Overview

  • The NCAA found Sorsby placed roughly 9,000 bets totaling about $90,000 while in college and ruled him ineligible after discovering wagers that included his own team.
  • A Texas judge briefly restored his eligibility but the Big 12 filed a federal suit against Texas Tech that remains active and unresolved.
  • Sorsby withdrew his court challenge, left Texas Tech, and filed for the 2026 NFL Supplemental Draft, ending the campus fight but not the conference litigation.
  • The NFL is reviewing his supplemental‑draft eligibility with Commissioner Roger Goodell reported to be involved and most teams expected to evaluate him at a July 10 pro day.
  • Scouts grade Sorsby as a high‑upside Day‑2 prospect yet note technical flaws, temperament and injury risks and warn he could face a league suspension that would affect availability and team draft capital because any supplemental pick costs the equivalent pick in the following regular draft.
