After four years of college football, and eventful few months at Texas Tech, the college career of Brendan Sorsby appears to be over.

Brendan Sorsby is ready to take the field this fall, but his path has taken a sharp turn away from Lubbock. After a whirlwind tenure at Texas Tech, the former Indiana and Cincinnati signal-caller has opted to move on from the collegiate game entirely.
A Pivot to the Pros
According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Sorsby has officially parted ways with Texas Tech and will now set his sights on the June 22nd NFL supplemental draft.
Controversy and Fallout
Sorsby’s brief time at Texas Tech was defined by intense scrutiny following his admission of gambling on college sports, which included wagers on his former team, Indiana. Although he secured an injunction from a Lubbock County court to keep his eligibility alive after seeking counseling for a gambling addiction, the surrounding fallout was immediate.
The situation drew widespread criticism, with Nebraska and Georgia reportedly signaling their intent to avoid scheduling Texas Tech. Within the Big 12, leadership had been weighing potential disciplinary measures against the university after the school initially handed Sorsby a two-game suspension. It remains unclear if Texas Tech will still face institutional penalties from the conference following the quarterback's exit.
The Road Ahead
Sorsby is now looking toward the NFL's supplemental draft—a specialized path for players who exhausted their college eligibility or missed the window for the April draft. While historical figures like Cris Carter have successfully utilized this route, Sorsby’s process will be markedly different; rather than a celebratory stage, his professional future will be determined through a conference call process.
After previously inking a $4 million deal with the Red Raiders, Sorsby now heads into an uncertain professional landscape, closing the book on his four-year collegiate journey.
