Brendan Sorsby, who attended Lake Dallas High School, is planning to work out for NFL teams before the supplemental draft. This decision comes after he ended his legal fight to retain his college eligibility due to making impermissible bets while playing college football.

Background

Sorsby had been granted a temporary injunction by a Lubbock County court, allowing him to play for Texas Tech. However, he would need to be ineligible from NCAA play to apply for the NFL’s supplemental draft.

The NCAA had declared Sorsby permanently ineligible after he admitted to making thousands of bets worth at least $90,000 during his time at three different schools. Sorsby’s college career began at Indiana, then he played for Cincinnati, and finally transferred to Texas Tech in January.

Sorsby plans to hold his pro day on July 10 at a Dallas-area high school. The deadline for applying for the draft is June 22, which was a key factor in his decision to pursue the pros rather than continue with the legal process.
