Texas Tech University announced on Monday that quarterback Brendan Sorsby has left the football program to undergo treatment for a gambling addiction.
Sorsby, who transferred to the Red Raiders in January 2024 after spending two years at the University of Cincinnati, will enter a residential rehab facility. The duration of his stay has been described by the school as “indefinite.”
Coach McGuire Expresses Support for Sorsby
Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire released a statement in support of Sorsby’s decision:
“We love Brendan and support his decision to seek professional help. Taking this step requires courage, and our primary focus is on him as a person.”
Background on Sorsby’s College Career
Before transferring to Texas Tech, Sorsby played for the Cincinnati Bearcats from 2022 to 2023. His departure from the program follows a pattern of transfers among college quarterbacks, though his situation marks a rare intersection of sports and gambling addiction.
