Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA in Lubbock court seeking an injunction that would allow him to play for the Red Raiders in 2026, after admitting to gambling on his former team at Indiana University.

Sorsby acknowledged betting on Indiana games while he was enrolled at the university. The admission came amid an ongoing NCAA gambling investigation that has affected his eligibility status.

In April, Sorsby took an indefinite hiatus from the Texas Tech team to seek treatment for gambling addiction. The quarterback's legal action represents an attempt to maintain his college football career despite the gambling violations.

Meanwhile, the NFL has set a deadline of June 22 for Sorsby to determine his professional prospects. He must decide by that date whether he remains eligible to play college football next season or will pursue entry into the professional ranks.

The case highlights ongoing challenges college athletics faces with gambling-related violations among student-athletes. The NCAA has been conducting investigations into gambling activities across multiple sports programs nationwide.

Sorsby's lawsuit seeks to resolve his eligibility status for the 2026 season, though the outcome will depend on both the court's decision and any potential NCAA sanctions stemming from his admitted violations.
