The collegiate career of quarterback Brendan Sorsby appears to be at a definitive end. Multiple reports confirm that the NCAA has denied Texas Tech’s appeal regarding Sorsby, who was investigated for gambling on games during his time at Indiana.
End of the Road for the Red Raiders Transfer
Sorsby’s collegiate journey saw him play two seasons for Indiana before moving on to Cincinnati and eventually landing at Texas Tech this past offseason. However, an NCAA investigation revealed that the quarterback had gambled on Indiana games while a freshman, leading to his recent dismissal from eligibility.
Legal Challenges and Next Steps
The final ruling on Friday arrived while Sorsby and his legal team were awaiting a decision from a Texas judge. Sorsby had filed a lawsuit on May 18 seeking a temporary injunction against the NCAA to clear the path for him to play for the Red Raiders this season. This appeal was Texas Tech's follow-up effort after Sorsby was initially denied eligibility on May 26.
With his NCAA prospects exhausted, Sorsby may turn his attention toward the professional level. He is viewed as a potential candidate for the NFL’s supplemental draft, though he faces a narrow window to make that move, with the deadline set for June 22.
