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,

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

still has a very good chance to win the Big 12.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

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.

H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

But

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

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.

H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

And then, you know, that doesn't even get into the finances of even this existing contract that he's on.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

That certainly will, I'd imagine, be called into question a little bit if he's suspended.

H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

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.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

But it does mean that there are multiple states that do believe to have reason to believe that he gambled in those states.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

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.

H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

If he were to have been found to do that, then his college career is over.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

There's really almost no way to get around that unless they can somehow get it thrown out by investigators.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

But that's the biggest domino.

H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

If he was found only to gamble on NFL games or other college football games,

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

He might lose 30% to 50% on the season, depending on what the offenses are.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

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.

The Program

He's the guy who settled the House v. NCAA case.
