a ton of regret<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cI know how quickly things can go wrong,\u201d Sorsby said, via Williams. \u201cEverything can get ripped from you.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the series, Sorsby describes going across the Texas border to Oklahoma to legally gamble once he turned 18 \u2014 playing table games like blackjack. That serves as a bit of a preamble to how his playing career then got derailed by betting on sports.<\/p>\n
\u201cI couldn\u2019t watch sporting activities without wanting to have something at stake, wanting to have some skin on the game,\u201d Sorsby said of his gambling habits at Indiana and Cincinnati, which included betting on his own team while with the Hoosiers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhenever I got to Tech, same deal. Making more money than I ever made in my life, no reason to gamble. And yet I still did it,\u201d Sorsby added. \u201cJust chasing a dopamine hit, and that\u2019s where you lose yourself. \u2026 I\u2019m walking around the facility and nobody knows that I have a problem gambling. Once I got found out and got caught, I went to rehab to fix my problem. And here we are.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sorsby notes that at one point in the spring, he was on the phone with his parents and agent \u201cbawling my eyes out\u201d because he was \u201cthinking I just threw everything I\u2019ve worked for my entire life out the window.\u201d<\/p>\n
While he was denied entry to the league this year, Sorsby is slated to be eligible for the 2027 draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brendan Sorsby will not be playing football in 2026 after the betting scandal that engulfed both college and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":835402,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-835401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/835401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=835401"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/835401\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/835402"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=835401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=835401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=835401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
