will dismiss the lawsuit<\/a> in Lubbock County, Texas that gave him a temporary injunction restoring his NCAA eligibility for 2026. This will wipe out his eligibility for play for Texas Tech, making him eligible to enter the NFL supplemental draft.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s an important step. If he\u2019s still eligible to play college football, the NFL would have been able to easily say he\u2019s not eligible to enter the supplemental draft.<\/p>\n
That doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019ll gain easy entrance to the NFL via the supplemental draft. The Terrelle Pryor precedent from 2011 shows that the league is willing and able to create a sanction to mirror NCAA punishment.<\/p>\n
And it would be very easy for the NFL, if it chooses, to declare that Sorsby\u2019s pattern of underage gambling and gambling on his team creates a threat to the integrity of the game \u2014 even if he has never violated a single NFL policy.<\/p>\n
