Former Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby will be allowed to enter the 2027 NFL Draft, the NFL told its 32 teams in a memo acquired Tuesday by The Athletic. The decision provides clarity on Sorsby’s football future after months of uncertainty stemming from his violation of NCAA gambling rules.Sorsby also released a statement to The Athletic saying that he is “fully committed to being the best version of myself that I can be while getting ready for the 2027 draft.” The news brings an apparent end to Sorsby’s effort to play football in 2026.“I accept 100% responsibility for my actions,” Sorsby’s statement read. “I did not have control of my gambling problem and it took getting caught for me to realize that, but it was truly the best thing that could’ve happened to me. Because of this, I have been able to get the help I need and fully focus on my recovery.”Sorsby, 22, has been in limbo since he announced in April that he would take an “immediate indefinite leave of absence” to enter a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction. An NCAA investigation found that the quarterback, who transferred from Cincinnati to Texas Tech during the offseason, violated several of the organization’s gambling rules, including betting on his own team when he played for Indiana. It then ruled that he was permanently ineligible to compete in college football. Sorsby’s appeal of that decision was dismissed with prejudice on June 18, effectively ending his pursuit of a return to college football.
