Brendan Sorsby's NFL plan derailed for a year as league decides not to hold supplemental draft
Key takeaways
- Former Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby has been informed by the NFL that the league will not hold a supplemental draft prior to the 2026 season.
- With that injunction being challenged in court, Sorsby determined he would give up the remainder of his college eligibility and enter the NFL supplemental draft by its June 22 deadline.
- Article 6 of the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement appears to allow the league to determine each year whether to hold a supplemental draft for players who become eligible to play after the regular NFL draft.

Former Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby has been informed by the NFL that the league will not hold a supplemental draft prior to the 2026 season.
The news came days after Sorsby dropped a lawsuit against the NCAA which had resulted in an injunction that would have allowed him to play for the Red Raiders this season despite a permanent ban for wagering on college sports.
