Texas Tech University announced on Monday that quarterback Brendan Sorsby has left the football program to enter a rehabilitation facility for gambling addiction. The university confirmed the move in a brief statement, expressing support for Sorsby's decision to seek help.
Sorsby, a transfer from Indiana, joined Texas Tech in January 2026. He was expected to compete for the starting quarterback position during spring practice. The university did not provide details on the nature or duration of his treatment.
The announcement comes amid growing scrutiny of sports gambling in college athletics. While the NCAA has increased education efforts on gambling risks, this case highlights the personal challenges athletes can face.
