(Undated) — Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby is seeking his college eligibility for the 2026 football season. The signal caller, who has sought treatment for a gambling addiction, filed for an injunction against the NCAA on Monday. The filing was made in Lubbock County, Texas, and cites the NCAA’s “deeply hypocritical” position on gambling and a “wholesale abandonment” of its obligations and duties to promote the well-being of Sorsby. The redshirt senior is currently ineligible to play due to prior violations of the NCAA’s sports gambling rules. The NCAA issued a statement Monday saying it had not received a reinstatement request for this case.
