Overview
- Sorsby formally filed for the NFL supplemental draft after withdrawing his lawsuit over NCAA ineligibility, a move reported on Tuesday that ends his contested bid to play at Texas Tech.
- He has admitted to placing thousands of impermissible bets totaling about $90,000 while in college, including wagers on his own team, which prompted the NCAA to rule him ineligible earlier this month.
- The NFL appears likely to allow him into the supplemental draft and teams have accelerated scouting: his agent says roughly 26 clubs have made contact and a pro day is scheduled for July 10 in the Dallas area.
- On the field many evaluators call Sorsby a high‑upside prospect who could play at a first‑round level, though most teams project his supplemental‑draft value in the second or third round because selecting him costs a corresponding 2027 pick.
- Whether the league will impose discipline for pre‑NFL gambling remains unsettled and could set a precedent, while Sorsby’s recent treatment for a diagnosed gambling addiction will be a key factor teams consider when weighing the risk.
