After one of the most controversial college sports sagas in recent times, Brendan Sorsby plans to enter the 2026 NFL supplemental draft.
Sorsby's decision to enter the NFL supplemental draft comes on the heels of a well-publicized fight against the NCAA to regain his eligibility with Texas Tech for the 2026 college football season.
Sorsby had been ruled ineligible by the NCAA after it discovered he had placed more than 9,000 bets, totaling at least $90,000, on professional and college sports over four years while enrolled at Indiana and Cincinnati, including at least 40 wagers involving Indiana football when he was a freshman with the Hoosiers in 2022.
Sorsby was granted a temporary injunction against the NCAA by a Texas judge on June 8 that appeared to pave the way for Sorsby to play college football in 2026. But, that was met with fierce backlash across the college football landscape and by the Big 12 Conference.
