The difficulties surrounding Bredan Sorsby’s future at Texas Tech continued on Friday, when attorneys representing the Texas Tech transfer quarterback allegedly wrote the NCAA seeking an “expedited resolution” to reinstate his eligibility amid accusations of gambling.
Yahoo Sports broke the news on Friday morning. According to the report, Sorsby’s representation informed the NCAA that a lawsuit contesting his eligibility is “imminent. “
Sorsby, who joined the Red Raiders from Cincinnati with the goal of playing in 2026, admitted to a residential treatment facility in April to deal with a gambling problem.
Sorsby decided to seek assistance after discovering that he had made thousands of internet wagers on a range of sports using a gambling app, jeopardizing his qualification for Texas Tech. Texas Tech has openly supported Sorsby’s rehabilitation efforts, with the Red Raiders intending to keep his services for the 2026 season.
The NCAA is investigating Sorsby’s gambling because the organization prohibits athletes from gambling on collegiate or professional sports. According to reports, Sorsby gambled on Indiana games while a real freshman with the Hoosiers in 2022, in addition to a number of other low-stakes bets ranging from $1 to $2. 50. He moved from Cincinnati to Texas Tech in part because of a big NIL arrangement worth around $5 million.
If the NCAA determines Sorsby ineligible, he may enter the NFL Supplemental Draft and join the professional ranks for the 2026 season. The deadline to apply for the supplemental draft is June 30.
