He was the number one quarterback on their board in all of the transfer portal, number two overall transfer in the 247 sports transfer rankings.
Now, I think that Texas Tech, even without Sorzi in the lineup,
still has a very good chance to win the Big 12.
I'd still consider them to be the favorite just because of what they bring back on defense and what I think that their offensive line has a chance to be with so many returners as well.
You know, look, one, I mean, he is somebody who saw himself as a potential first-round prospect, somebody who I think that's stepping into a more structured role, had a chance to be a real breakout player in college athletics.
And then, you know, that doesn't even get into the finances of even this existing contract that he's on.
That certainly will, I'd imagine, be called into question a little bit if he's suspended.
You know, the status right now is that he is allegedly under investigation by multiple different states for gambling offenses.
Now, that doesn't mean, you know, that they're going to be hugely criminal or that, you know, he'd get in serious legal trouble.
But it does mean that there are multiple states that do believe to have reason to believe that he gambled in those states.
And again, the most critical of the alleged gambling offenses is the one where he allegedly bet on Indiana games while he was redshirting at Indiana.
If he were to have been found to do that, then his college career is over.
There's really almost no way to get around that unless they can somehow get it thrown out by investigators.
But that's the biggest domino.
If he was found only to gamble on NFL games or other college football games,
He might lose 30% to 50% on the season, depending on what the offenses are.
If he did gamble on his own games, then it's over.
So, you know, he retained Jeffrey Kessler as his attorney, who was probably the single most high-powered attorney in college athletics.
He's the guy who settled the House v. NCAA case.
