Brendan Sorsby Targets NFL Supplemental Draft After Court Win Over NCAA Gambling Ban

Summary
Brendan Sorsby plans to enter the NFL supplemental draft, shifting away from a return to Texas Tech after a judge blocked the NCAA from enforcing his permanent ineligibility.
The 22-year-old quarterback had admitted extensive gambling violations, including bets on his own Indiana team, and had been expected to open the season with a 2-game suspension.
June 22 is the deadline to enter the supplemental draft, and Sorsby still must receive NFL approval before he can be considered by teams.
The supplemental draft last occurred in 2023 with no selections, and no quarterback has been taken through it since Terrelle Pryor in 2011.
