Will QB Brendan Sorsby’s NFL Future Be Decided by Four High-Stakes Questions Amid Gambling Scandal?

Will QB Brendan Sorsby's NFL Future Be Decided by Four High-Stakes Questions Amid Gambling Scandal?

In the developments since Sorsby initially stepped away from the Texas Tech program, there have been questions raised about whether the NCAA’s investigation may ultimately find grounds for permanent forfeiture of his college football eligibility — and accompanying questions about what that might mean for his NFL future. In the wake of all of it, Sorsby hired powerful sports, labor and antitrust attorney Jeffrey Kessler in an effort to retain his NCAA eligibility.

As the process of navigating a path forward with Kessler has just begun, the NFL and its teams — and most especially its front offices — have been left to grapple with a potential turn. Specifically, whether Sorsby could have his college football eligibility terminated and then seek to enter the NFL immediately, applying for the league’s rarely used supplemental draft process. A means to gain entry to the NFL in the face of college football ineligibility (but after the league’s standard draft has already taken place), the supplemental draft has not seen a player selected since 2019. And historically, it has not seen a player of Sorsby’s stature enter the process since wide receiver Josh Gordon in 2012.
