Brendan Sorsby Addresses Gambling Scandal, Says He Has 'A Ton Of Regret' In New Texas Tech Documentary - BroBible

Brendan Sorsby says he carries "a ton of regret" over the gambling scandal that derailed his Texas Tech football career, speaking out for the first time in a new documentary airing on Paramount+. Sorsby had been set to receive millions of dollars from Texas Tech for his senior season before the wagering violations came to light.

Sorsby had been set to receive millions of dollars from Texas Tech for his senior season before the wagering violations came to light. The NCAA found he had bet thousands of dollars on various sports, including placing bets on his own team while he was a freshman at Indiana. The fallout cost him his eligibility and his shot at playing in Lubbock.

He did win a legal injunction that would have temporarily allowed him to suit up for the Red Raiders this fall, but Sorsby chose a different path, declaring himself eligible for the NFL's supplemental draft. That door closed when the NFL decided not to hold a supplemental draft at all. His backup plan, playing in the Canadian Football League, also fell through.

For Tech fans who watched this saga play out all summer, the documentary puts a human face on a story that spent months in courtrooms and headlines. He has not played a down of college football at Texas Tech, and right now he has no professional league to turn to either.

The documentary is streaming on Paramount+ this week.
