That also means teams like the Cleveland Browns — and other teams with shaky quarterback situations — won't have the opportunity to take the 6-foot-3, 235-pound quarterback.
Sorsby's college eligibility was challenged after he admitted to a gambling problem that began during his freshman season at Indiana, where he bet on his own team. Court filings indicate he placed at least 40 wagers involving Indiana football, used accounts registered to others and wagered about $90,000 over four years. Sorsby quarterback threw for 2,800 yards, 27 touchdowns and five interceptions for Cincinnati last season.
On June 8 Sorsby won a key court ruling that allowed him to remain eligible to play college football in 2026. A Lubbock County judge granted Sorsby an injunction in his legal fight with the NCAA.
The NFL hasn't had a supplemental draft since 2019.
