Jets Weigh Supplemental-Draft Gamble on Brendan Sorsby as Potential Franchise QB

The Jets are considering a bid in the NFL supplemental draft for Brendan Sorsby, a Cincinnati starter who transferred to Texas Tech, hoping he could become a franchise quarterback. Sorsby is currently dealing with a gambling-related eligibility probe that could either delay his college career or bar him, potentially pushing his future to the July supplemental draft if the ban is enforced. A successful bid would cost the Jets a 2027 pick, complicating the decision given Geno Smith, Cade Klubnik, and a strong 2027 quarterback class. The ultimate move depends on the NCAA ruling and the Jets’ appetite for risk and long-term upside.

Vols await 2026 decision as Aguilar sues NCAA over JUCO eligibility

Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar argues the NCAA JUCO rule should not count his JUCO years toward eligibility and has filed a lawsuit seeking emergency relief to play in 2026, with Tennessee reportedly having a roster spot and about $2 million in NIL compensation if allowed to return. Aguilar threw for 3,565 yards and 24 TDs in 2025 and would likely start in 2026 if eligible. He previously joined but has since left the Diego Pavia suit and now pursues relief in this separate case amid antitrust claims.
