Brendan Sorsby’s attempt to play in 2026 will likely have to come through the court system.
According to ESPN, the NCAA has blocked the Texas Tech QB’s request for reinstatement to play for the 2026 season as he recently completed inpatient treatment for a gambling addiction. Tech announced earlier this spring that Sorsby was seeking treatment after placing numerous bets throughout his college career.
Sorsby, who transferred to Tech from Cincinnati over the offseason, placed a bet on Indiana while he was a member of the Hoosiers in 2022. Per NCAA rules, players who bet on their own team can permanently lose their eligibility. The 2026 season is set to be Sorsby’s final season of college football.
