Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby is stepping away from football activities after enrolling in a program to address a gambling addiction, according to reports. The move comes as part of an effort to comply with NCAA guidelines while also focusing on his personal well-being.
Sorsby’s situation surfaced amid an NCAA review tied to sports wagering, an issue the organization has increasingly cracked down on in recent years. Rather than face immediate punitive action alone, Sorsby is taking a proactive step by entering treatment, which could factor into how his case is ultimately handled.
Texas Tech has acknowledged the situation and expressed support for Sorsby, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing his health. The program he’s entered is designed to provide education, counseling, and accountability for individuals dealing with gambling-related issues.
It’s unclear how long Sorsby will be away from the team, but his availability moving forward will likely depend on both his progress in the program and the NCAA’s final decision. For now, the focus remains on recovery as the Red Raiders navigate the impact on their quarterback room.
