Tech AD defends Sorsby's return, prioritizes recovery and transparency
Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt issued a lengthy statement after a judge restored Brendan Sorsby's eligibility, noting he has not played a single down for the Red Raiders and will miss the first two games while he continues recovery from a gambling addiction. Tech says it supports Sorsby's ongoing treatment with a comprehensive clinical and compliance framework, remains transparent, and appealed the NCAA ruling, while acknowledging there are two sides to the issue and prioritizing the student’s well-being.
