Brendan Sorsby Pro Day Set As He Eyes NFL Supplemental Draft

Brendan Sorsby’s Texas Tech chapter didn’t just end early, it detonated into one of the strangest NFL Draft storylines of the summer.

The former Red Raiders quarterback is now expected to shift his focus toward the NFL supplemental draft after parting ways with Texas Tech on Monday.

According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Sorsby has a pro day scheduled for July 10 at Carroll High School in Southlake, Texas, giving NFL teams a live look at one of the most talented and complicated quarterback prospects on the board.

Sorsby’s agent, Ron Slavin, told Thamel that the quarterback’s legal team will withdraw its Texas court filing, which would make Sorsby ineligible at the college level. Once that happens, the next move is expected to be an application for the NFL supplemental draft.

That’s where things get fascinating.

Sorsby was supposed to be the missing piece for a Texas Tech team with College Football Playoff ambitions after winning the Big 12 last season.

Instead, his offseason spiraled after he reportedly entered rehab for a gambling addiction. Per On3’s Pete Nakos, Sorsby placed more than 10,000 wagers dating back to 2022.

The NCAA ruled him ineligible, but a Texas judge granted a temporary injunction on June 8 that briefly opened the door for him to play in 2026.

The backlash came fast, and the Big 12 later filed for a federal injunction seeking authority to discipline him.

Now the college fight appears to be ending, while the NFL evaluation begins.

Sorsby’s talent is why this story won’t disappear. In 2025 at Cincinnati, he threw for 2,800 yards with 27 touchdowns and only five interceptions.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that one NFL voice viewed Sorsby as “worth a second-round pick” in the supplemental draft, while another evaluator called him a first-round-caliber talent.

That’s the tension. The arm is real. The baggage is louder.

Sorsby’s next audition won’t be about proving he can play. It’ll be about convincing an NFL team the risk is worth it.
