Brendan Sorsby’s days playing college football very well could be over, as the NCAA denied his application for reinstatement on Tuesday amid an investigation into the “thousands of online bets” he allegedly placed on various sports—putting his remaining eligibility in jeopardy. Sorsby recently completed a 35-day inpatient rehab program for gambling addiction at Algamus in Goodyear, Ariz., and will return to Texas Tech’s campus this week.
While the university is now set to appeal the NCAA’s decision on its transfer quarterback, time is quickly running out on his potential reinstatement. Sorsby likely wants to continue playing football in 2026, and if he can’t do so at the college level, he’ll need to apply for the NFL’s supplemental draft before the league’s June 22 deadline.
