Top college QB entering rehab for gambling addiction amid NCAA probe
One of the biggest names in last year's transfer portal might never play a down for his new school.Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby and the university announced Monday that he will take an "immediate leave of absence" from the football team to enter a treatment facility for a gambling addiction.
The school said in a statement it is "committed to supporting Brendan through his recovery process and to ensure his long-term health and well-being."
"We love Brendan and support his decision to seek professional help," Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire said. "Taking this step requires courage, and our primary focus is on him as a person. Our program is behind Brendan as he prioritizes his health."
Sorsby transferred to Texas Tech from the University of Cincinnati this past offseason, being considered one of the biggest prizes in the transfer portal.
In 2025, Sorsby threw for 2,800 yards and 27 touchdowns with only five interceptions in 12 games. He also rushed for 580 yards and nine scores on the ground, leading the Bearcats to a 7-5 record.
He announced his intent to enter the transfer portal on Dec. 15 and committed to the Red Raiders on Jan. 4, prompting a lawsuit from his previous school alleging he breached his Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) contract.
He was reported to have received $5 million in NIL compensation from Texas Tech.
Sorsby grew up in Denton and played his high school football at Lake Dallas High School. In 2021, he was named Quarterback of the Year by the Denton-Record Chronicle after accumulating 2,094 scrimmage yards and 29 total touchdowns.
