Sorsby's NFL Future Secured for 2027 Draft

A resolution has been reached concerning college football prospect Brendan Sorsby and his NFL eligibility. As of 2026, Sorsby, the NFL, and the NFL Players Association have come to an agreement that will allow him to pursue a professional career. This deal means Sorsby will not pursue legal action against the league following the denial of his entry into the supplemental draft.

Sorsby admitted to placing over $90,000 in sports bets during his college years, which included wagering on his own team. He played for Indiana, Cincinnati, and Texas Tech. Although the NCAA had previously stripped him of his eligibility, Sorsby had temporarily had it reinstated through legal action before withdrawing his suit and applying for the supplemental draft.

Under the new agreement, Sorsby will be eligible for the 2027 NFL Draft. He is permitted to participate in pre-draft activities such as the NFL Combine, the Senior Bowl, team interviews, and his pro day. However, he remains ineligible to sign with any NFL team until after the 2027 draft concludes. The NFL has noted that his past betting activities may be considered for future disciplinary actions.
