Brendan Sorsby faces serious gambling allegations that may end his college football career. The quarterback, who transferred to Texas Tech, took a leave of absence after betting on multiple sporting events, including games involving his former team, Indiana.

The potential first-round NFL Draft star raises serious questions heading into the next level, though. NFL insiders are now linking Sorsby to the NFL based on the NCAAâs ongoing investigation into the Red Raiders quarterback.
NFL Networkâs Tom Pelissero even indicated this week that Sorsby could end up benefitting from his murky situation. The NFL insider reported that he believes the Heisman Trophy hopeful may become the highest selected supplemental draft ever.

Simply put, it would set an incredibly unfair precedent if an NFL team opts to bring in Sorsby immediately after his alleged gambling scandal. The NFL and college sports certainly create a double standard by surrounding their leagues with betting companies.
It appears that Sorsby hasnât been caught betting on any games that he was directly involved in. However, a supplemental draft pick would send all the wrong signals to players that get caught up in the dangerous world of gambling.
Several top NFL players have already paid the price for sports betting and other gambling issues. Calvin Ridley, Jameson Williams and others received significant suspensions for their involvement in the risk-taking venture.
Ridley even received a full-season suspension that kept him off the gridiron for the entire 2022 NFL season. The NFL would certainly need to punish Sorsby based on his actions, even if they did come prior to him being a professional athlete.
Over the past two seasons, Sorsbyâs posted over 5,600 passing yards at Cincinnati and a combined 45 touchdowns. That success led him to Texas Tech before the betting allegations came to light in recent weeks.
Itâs unclear what the future holds for the college football star, but the NFL is always looking for top talents so it wonât be surprising if Sorsby ends up playing on Sundays in the near future.
