Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby finds himself in a situation no player in the world wants to face: an NCAA investigation into sports gambling. The expectation is that he won't play for Texas Tech next season, though it's certainly possible that things get cleared up.

The Red Raiders' new quarterback, who they landed during the offseason, was expected to be one of the better quarterbacks in America next year. There was a lot of talk about him potentially being a guy who gets picked in the NFL supplemental draft, though again, it remains uncertain how things will play out with that.

With everything playing out as it has, there's an expectation that he'll have a lot of interest from the NFL, including the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, and Miami Dolphins.

“I have four teams here that I think kept their powder dry for the 2027 draft: The Jets, the Cardinals, the Browns, and the Dolphins,“ Breer said on the “Rich Eisen Show,” H/T Heavy. “I think all four of those teams kicked the can down the road at various levels.

“Obviously, the Jets and the Dolphins went and got Malik Willis. They’ve all kind of patched the position together and basically said they don’t think there’s somebody worthy of taking that high in 2026.

“So they’re allowing themselves the opportunity to extend this out and get to 2027 and take one there. What happens if one of those teams says Brendan Sorsby is as good as any of the kids coming out next year? We’ll throw a second-round pick at it.”

Cleveland, New York, and Miami are the three most obvious teams that could still use a quarterback in the long term. The Dolphins might be the only team that doesn't have that question right now, depending on how Malik Willis looks in his first season in aqua and orange.
