Brendan Sorsby may be moving to the NFL after all, as the NCAA delivered a major setback to the Texas Tech Red Raiders quarterback. The NCAA has denied Sorsby\u2019s appeal to restore eligibility for the 2026 college football season.<\/p>\n
Sorsby lost his eligibility over multiple violations of the NCAA\u2019s gambling policy. These also included wagers placed on Indiana Hoosiers games while he was with the program.<\/p>\n

Albert Breer Floats Brendan Sorsby Going to the Miami Dolphins<\/a><\/p>\n Sorsby is awaiting a ruling from Texas Judge Ken Curry on a temporary injunction against the NCAA\u2019s decision. Meanwhile, attention is already shifting toward a possible NFL Supplemental Draft appearance<\/a>.<\/p>\n The NFL is set to hold its first Supplemental Draft since 2023, though it could be the first time a player is actually selected since 2019. Given the situation, Sorsby is expected to enter the supplemental draft if his college eligibility is not restored. NFL insider Albert Breer believes the Miami Dolphins could be among the teams keeping a close eye on the quarterback.<\/p>\n \u201cBenefit for a team like the Cardinals, Jets<\/a>, Dolphins or Browns<\/a> on taking a second-round swing on Brendan Sorsby\u2013if you hit, then that frees you up to take someone like Jeremiah Smith or Dylan Stewart next April,\u201d Breer said in relation to Sorsby potentially entering the Supplemental draft.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The Dolphins currently have Malik Willis<\/a> as their starting quarterback, but Sorsby would be a good developmental project for them. Similarly, the Jets and Cardinals have questions at the position in the long term and could look to acquire Texas Tech\u2019s quarterback.<\/p>\n Take a Quick Break. Run a Mock Draft!

I don\u2019t think we\u2019re in a position to want to go down that road,\u201dMonken said. <\/a>\u201cIn terms of the situation he\u2019s put himself in, we all know what that is. He put himself in that situation. And we\u2019ve seen in other sports with players that have been banned for life from playing in professional sports.\u201d<\/p>\n Before the eligibility issues, Sorsby was among the top quarterback prospects in college football. Evaluators projected him as a potential first-round selection in the 2027 NFL Draft alongside Arch Manning<\/a>, Dante Moore<\/a>, and LaNorris Sellers. According to PFSN\u2019s CFB QB Impact Metric<\/a>, he posted an impact score of 88.2 last season, ranking 10th in the country.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n BE AN NFL GM: PFSN\u2019s Ultimate GM Simulator<\/a><\/p>\n However, not everyone believes Miami is the favorite.
