Why Brendan Sorsby and Texas Tech are parting ways as QB enters NFL's supplemental draft

Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby and the university have agreed to part ways, ending his college football career, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reporting on June 16, 2026. Sorsby had faced NCAA eligibility challenges related to gambling violations, though a district court ruling last week had temporarily restored his eligibility amid significant legal and public backlash. He will now enter the NFL's supplemental draft, making him one of the most notable supplemental draft prospects in recent memory.
