Not holding the 2026 NFL Supplemental Draft<\/h2>

What we know:<\/p>

<\/div>

Sorsby announced last week that he planned to enter the supplemental draft amid an ongoing legal battle with the NCAA and Big 12 Conference over his eligibility following a gambling scandal.<\/p>

According to multiple reports, the NFL declined Sorsby’s request for a supplemental draft, citing concerns about completing a review of his gambling history before the start of the season.<\/p>

The decision leaves Sorsby unable to sign with an NFL team this year and likely pushes his next opportunity to enter the league until the 2027 NFL Draft.<\/p>

The backstory:<\/p>

Sorsby was permanently ruled ineligible by the NCAA after admitting to placing thousands of sports wagers totaling about $90,000 during his college career, including bets involving Indiana football while he was a member of the program. A Texas judge later granted a temporary injunction restoring his eligibility at Texas Tech while the underlying lawsuit proceeds.<\/p>
