Former UC quarterback Brendan Sorsby has taken an indefinite leave of absence, just after signing a deal with Texas Tech for his college season, according to the Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TRENDING STORIES:<\/b><\/p>\n

The 22-year-old started his college career at Indiana University in 2022, then transferred to Cincinnati, where he played the last two seasons.<\/p>\n

ESPN reports<\/a>, citing unidentified sources, that Sorsby allegedly made \u201cthousands of online bets on a variety of sports via a gambling app.\u201d<\/p>\n

He reportedly bet on Indiana games in 2022 and only to win. Sorsby did not place a wager on the only game he appeared in that season, ESPN reports.<\/p>\n

Sorsby left Cincinnati for a reported $5 million from Texas Tech, the AP said.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati declined to comment. They previously announced back in February that they would sue Sorsby for allegedly breaching his name, image, and likeness (NIL) contract.<\/p>\n

Sorsby started 31 of 35 games and threw for over 7,200 yards and 60 touchdowns. <\/p>\n

He has almost 1,300 rushing yards and 22 rushing touchdowns in his college career. <\/p>\n
