Brendan Sorsby Won't Sue NFL, Plans to Prepare for 2027 Draft
The NFL Players Association and former Texas Tech ...
he NFL completely shut down the supplemental draft storyline, officially declaring Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby ineligible for the 2026 season due to massive integrity concerns surrounding his NCAA gambling suspension. The league pushed the controversial signal-caller directly to the 2027 NFL Draft, citing a lack of documentation and a failure to accept accountability after wagering thousands of dollars across his collegiate career.
Dynasty managers should beware of Sorby’s sordid gambling history, pugilistic disposition with the NFL, and 20 full months away organized football activities. Regardless, one of your league mates will ultimately be woo’d by Sorsby’s elite physical profile, highlighted by an impressive 81.5 College QBR and a strong 8.3 College Yards Per Attempt during his 2025 campaign.

Brendan Sorsby was never going to play another snap for Texas Tech after he placed bets on the Red Raiders, regardless of his official eligibility status. His presence in the NCAA would have been such a stain on the integrity of the league that programs around the country were lining up to ban Texas Tech from their schedules.
After being shunned by Texas Tech, Sorsby now hopes that the NFL will facilitate a supplemental draft to allow him to continue playing football at the professional level. The dual-threat quarterback posted an 81.5 College QBR and an 8.3 College Yards Per Attempt while tying for third nationally with 36 total touchdowns during his 2025 campaign at Cincinnati. If the NFL approves his eligibility, quarterback-needy franchises will submit blind bids using future draft assets to secure a prospect possessing elite physical traits.
Sorsby will be a coveted asset in fantasy football superflex dynasty leagues. Character concerns should not prevent dynasty managers from bidding their full FAAB budget to acquire Sorsby, if he becomes available in the player pool.
