Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby has checked into a residential rehab facility for a gambling addiction.
According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Sorsby sought help after he was found to have made thousands of online bets across a variety of sports.
The NCAA is now investigating Sorsby’s gambling because it strictly prohibits athletes from betting on collegiate and professional sports.
Texas Tech said in a statement that the university ‘is committed to supporting Brendan through his recovery process and to ensure his long-term health and well-being.’Â
Earlier this offseason Sorsby transferred to Texas Tech from Cincinnati, who announced on February 26 it would sue him for breaching his NIL contract.
He was ranked No. 1 in ESPN’s transfer portal rankings and was set to be of high interest to NFL teams going into next year’s daft.
The 22-year-old was also believed to be set to earn more than $5million in NIL this year with the Red Raiders.
