Summary
Brendan Sorsby, former Texas Tech quarterback, has had his football career put in jeopardy after the NFL announced it will not hold a supplemental draft this offseason. Sorsby had submitted his name for selection in the draft after revoking his college eligibility due to NCAA gambling rule violations. The NFL cited a lack of accountability from Sorsby for his conduct as a reason for not holding the draft. This means Sorsby cannot be selected or sign with NFL teams, but can join other professional leagues like the UFL.
