Brendan Sorsby's college football career has come to an end.
The Texas Tech quarterback parted ways with the Red Raiders on Monday and will declare for the NFL supplemental draft. Sorsby admitted to sports betting over four years during his college career, including placing bets on his own team during his time at Indiana.
Now, Sorsby's future is in the hands of the 32 NFL franchises. While Sorsby certainly carries some baggage and could face suspension from the NFL, ESPN's Pete Thamel expects a team will take a fairly aggressive shot at him.
During an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," Thamel said the buzz around the league is that a team is likely to use a second-round pick on Sorsby, who was viewed as a potential 2026 draft prospect before he opted to transfer to Texas Tech for a fifth season.
"The vibe around the league that I've gotten is that someone's likely going to use a second-round pick on him," Thamel said. "Don't be surprised if this position gets overvalued if the background stuff clears, because the talent is clearly the talent."
