Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby Hires Jeffrey Kessler as NCAA Gambling Probe Deepens

Texas Tech’s quarterback has hired Jeffrey Kessler following reports he wagered while at Indiana.

Overview

  • Sorsby is under NCAA review for extensive online betting, including an alleged wager on an Indiana game during his freshman season.
  • He has stepped away from Texas Tech and entered residential treatment for a gambling addiction as his playing status remains on hold.
  • Prominent attorney Jeffrey Kessler confirmed he represents Sorsby and is pursuing a reduced penalty, with a Lubbock court challenge considered if talks with the NCAA fail.
  • Under current NCAA rules and recent precedent, a confirmed bet on one’s own team could lead to permanent ineligibility for college play.
  • A jump to the NFL’s supplemental draft is being discussed as a fallback, though league approval is uncertain and opinions range from CBS’s Jonathan Jones casting doubt to Todd McShay touting possible suitors such as the Browns, Dolphins, and Jets.
