NFL to Decide on Brendan Sorsby Supplemental Draft Request After Gambling Violations

Brendan Sorsby requested a Supplemental NFL Draft after his college eligibility ended over gambling violations that included bets on his own team’s games. Sorsby played at Indiana and Cincinnati before transferring to Texas Tech, where he was expected to start this season.

He wagered approximately $90,000 over four years through accounts registered to friends and family and placed at least 2,900 total bets.

ESPN’s Matt Miller ranked Sorsby the No. 3 quarterback in the 2027 NFL Draft class, behind Arch Manning and Dante Moore. Sorsby was projected to receive more than $3 million in NIL compensation for the upcoming season before the violations surfaced.

Simpson was selected by the Rams in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. ” “We know in an NFL locker room, a 53-man roster, everyone is not going to be a good guy. You’re going to have some junkyard dogs in your locker room.

But every football player out there knows, betting on games and betting on your own games is a cardinal sin,” Woody said. ” Sorsby checked himself into rehab after the violations became public. It remains unclear whether the NFL will grant his request for a supplemental draft or whether any selection would carry a suspension risk.

The Cardinals have been mentioned among teams that could consider Sorsby if he is cleared, though any interested club would weigh the concerns Woody raised about trust in the locker room.
