The latest twist in the ongoing Brendan Sorsby saga has seen the quarterback declare his intent to enter the 2026 NFL supplemental draft. It now remains to be seen where the Texas Tech quarterback—who previously flashed at Cincinnati and Indiana—will land.
While it initially appeared that he would play out the upcoming college football season with the Red Raiders following a temporary injunction that lifted his ban for gambling, strong backlash from the NCAA, Big 12 conference and other parties has led him to call an end to his collegiate career.
Considering how light the 2026 draft class was on quarterbacks (only two were taken on Day 1), there are plenty of teams that could conceivably roll the dice on Sorsby.
Supplemental drafts are relatively rare (the most recent was in 2023), selections are even more infrequent (Jalen Thompson was the last supplemental draftee in 2019) and it’s been decades since a quarterback went in Round 1 of the supplemental draft (Dave Brown in 1992), but you’d only have to go back to 2011—when the Las Vegas Raiders picked Terrelle Pryor in the third round—to find the last time a signal-caller was taken in one of them.
There’s a good chance Sorsby could become the next quarterback to enter the league in this unconventional manner.
With that in mind, here’s a look at five QB-hungry squads that could submit a supplemental draft bid for Sorsby later this summer.
