Does Brendan Sorsby Have Starting QB Upside in the NFL?
ESPN's Field Yates believes that former Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who is applying for the NFL's supplemental draft, has starting QB upside at the next level. It's unclear what level of interest Sorsby will receive from NFL teams after admitting to placing bets on a variety of sports. The NCAA denied Sorsby's request for reinstatement in May, but a Texas judge granted him a temporary injunction in early June, making him eligible for the 2026 college season. But after a Big 12 lawsuit against Texas Tech and backlash around his eligibility, Sorsby has decided to leave for the NFL. NFL analyst Ben Solak thinks the Arizona Cardinals are the most obvious team that would be interested in Sorsby, as their current QBs are veterans Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew, and rookie third-rounder Carson Beck. Solak thinks Sorsby would "easily clear" Beck as the potential franchise signal-caller in the desert. The New York Jets are another team that could be interested, with veteran Geno Smith set to be the starter in 2026. Sorsby is clearly a better developmental prospect than fourth-rounder Cade Klubnik.
