Overview
- Sorsby, which filed Monday, asked a Lubbock judge for an injunction to let him practice and play in 2026 and requested a hearing by June 15.
- Texas Tech declared him ineligible and said it will file for NCAA reinstatement, while the NCAA said late Monday it had not received a reinstatement request.
- In his filing, Sorsby acknowledged placing small bets on Indiana in 2022 and said he has been in residential treatment since April 27 for a clinically diagnosed gambling addiction.
- Sorsby hired attorney Jeffrey Kessler and seeks a fast ruling to keep open the NFL supplemental draft option on June 22, which requires league approval and forces teams to give up a future pick.
- NCAA rules say betting on one’s own team can trigger a permanent loss of eligibility, a risk that underpins Sorsby’s push for leniency and heightens stakes for Texas Tech’s multimillion-dollar NIL investment.
