This offseason, when Cincinnati signal-caller Brendan Sorsby committed to move to Lubbock, Texas Tech signed one of the top quarterbacks from the transfer portal. Nevertheless, his future was rapidly overshadowed by skepticism when he was forced off the squad as a result of a gambling problem that sent him to rehab.
Although Sorsby has finished his 35-day rehabilitation program, it is still unclear if he will be able to play in the 2026 season. According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Sorsby was compelled to file a lawsuit to be eligible to play this fall after the NCAA rejected his plea for reinstatement on Tuesday.
Thamel stated, “Sources: The NCAA has rejected Brendan Sorsby’s appeal for reinstatement for eligibility for the 2026 season. ” “Goodyear, Arizona’s Algamus has Sorsby finishing his 35-day in-patient rehabilitation for his gambling problem. “
