Brendan Sorsby has decided to apply for the NFL supplemental draft, stepping away from his attempt to play for Texas Tech. This follows his withdrawal of a lawsuit against the NCAA regarding his eligibility. The last supplemental draft occurred in 2023, with no selections made. Sorsby's status in the draft will depend on whether the NFL accepts his application. The process involves teams forfeiting a 2027 pick if they select him in the 2026 supplemental draft.
