After being under investigation for making bets via a gambling app, he has turned to Jeffrey Kessler to try to regain his college eligibility, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel . The strategic power move is being done with one of the best lawyers in sports. Kessler recently represented Michael Jordan and 23XI Racing in the antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR.
He has also worked decades with the NFL and other sports leagues to set the salary cap. If Sorsby is unsuccessful in finding a path to eligibility, expect him to work on getting to the NFL as fast as possible. This could come by declaring for the NFL’s supplemental draft.
He would have until June 30 to declare. However, this is one of the most extreme routes for the Red Raiders passer to go. Sorsby transfers from Cincinnati and receives a record NIL deal, which was reportedly over $5 million.
