Quarterback Brendan Sorsby will not play for Texas Tech, as he plans to dismiss a lawsuit that temporarily restored his NCAA eligibility for 2026, allowing him to enter the NFL supplemental draft. This decision eliminates his chance to play college football, although entering the draft may not be straightforward due to potential sanctions regarding his underage gambling and betting on his team. The NFL could perceive his actions as a threat to game integrity, regardless of NCAA policies. Thus, while this marks a shift in Sorsby’s career, it may also signal the start of new challenges.
