Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby has placed more than 10,000 sports betting wagers since 2022, according to a report from On3.

Sorsby, who transferred to Texas Tech from Cincinnati this offseason, announced Monday he is entering a treatment program for a gambling addiction, taking an indefinite leave of absence from the team.

Per On3, he was averaging as many as 20 bets per day on a variety of different sportsbook apps across multiple states.

This reportedly included betting on Indiana games when he was redshirting as a member of the team in 2022. ESPN reported Monday that all of the bets were on Indiana to win and none were on games he played in.

However, NCAA rules forbid collegiate athletes from betting on any sport (collegiate or professional) for which the NCAA sponsors a championship. Sorsby reportedly bet on college football and MLB games.

This could lead to him being deemed ineligible for the 2026 season, pending the NCAA’s active investigation.

Sorsby, ESPN’s No. 1-ranked transfer in this year’s class, threw for 5,613 yards, 45 touchdowns and 12 interceptions over the last two seasons for the Bearcats. He also ran for 1,027 yards and 18 touchdowns in 24 games.
