Texas Tech, Brendan Sorsby comment on QB’s departure for NFL

The brief and tumultuous tenure of Brendan Sorsby at Texas Tech has officially reached its conclusion. On Monday night, the quarterback—who joined the Red Raiders via the transfer portal—announced his decision to enter the NFL’s supplemental draft, effectively ending his collegiate career immediately.

A Difficult Chapter

Sorsby’s departure follows a series of revelations in May concerning his treatment for a gambling addiction. Reports indicated that this struggle spanned his time at Indiana, Cincinnati, and Texas Tech. Investigations revealed that Sorsby had placed hundreds of wagers totaling more than $90,000, including bets placed on teams for which he was an active member.

While Sorsby was granted an injunction that cleared him to remain eligible for college play, his status remained a major topic of conversation across the sport, particularly given the NCAA rules strictly prohibiting student-athletes from engaging in sports betting.

Official Statements Issued

Following the news on Monday, Texas Tech, athletic department benefactor Cody Campbell, and Sorsby himself released formal statements regarding the quarterback's exit.
