Overview

  • Reuters reported Thursday that multiple NFL teams are doing due diligence on Sorsby in case he seeks entry into the league’s supplemental draft.
  • Texas Tech said the quarterback entered a residential program for a gambling addiction and took an indefinite leave, and he retained attorney Jeffrey Kessler to pursue reinstatement.
  • On3 and ESPN reporting says he placed more than 10,000 mostly small wagers since 2022, including an alleged bet on an Indiana game as a redshirt, and regulators in Indiana and Ohio are reviewing his activity.
  • The Cleveland Browns are among clubs evaluating him as a contingency option, according to ESPN Cleveland’s Tony Grossi, after draft analyst Todd McShay labeled him a first‑round‑level prospect.
  • The supplemental draft lets teams bid a future draft pick on players who lose college eligibility after the main draft, and Sorsby faces a June 30 deadline to declare for that process.
