Right out the toaster. Reliable, with some real depth.
Summary
Brendan Sorsby, a college football player, is applying for the NFL's supplemental draft after a turbulent legal day. Despite previously winning a temporary injunction preserving his NCAA eligibility for 2026, two legal developments—the Big 12 filing a lawsuit to sanction Texas Tech if Sorsby plays in 2026, and the NCAA appealing the ruling that restored his eligibility—forced him to abandon college football and pursue the NFL draft instead.
