Lubbock, TX – June 16, 2026 – Brendan Sorsby, the highly-touted quarterback from Texas Tech University, has officially declared his intention to enter the 2026 NFL Supplemental Draft, a decision that sent ripples through college football and NFL scouting circles on Tuesday. Sorsby’s declaration comes after two standout seasons as the Red Raiders’ starting signal-caller, where he established himself as one of the Big 12 Conference’s most dynamic offensive threats.
Sorsby, who transferred to Texas Tech from Indiana University ahead of the 2024 season, quickly revitalized the Red Raiders’ offense under head coach Joey McGuire. In the 2024 season, Sorsby led Texas Tech to an 8-5 record, throwing for 3,120 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions, while adding 450 rushing yards and 5 scores. His performance earned him All-Big 12 honorable mention. The 2025 season saw Sorsby elevate his game further, guiding the Red Raiders to a 10-3 record and a top-15 national ranking. He completed 67.5% of his passes for 3,890 yards, 35 touchdowns, and only 7 interceptions, showcasing improved accuracy and decision-making, in addition to 610 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns. His exceptional play in 2025 garnered him First-Team All-Big 12 honors and placed him on the watch lists for several national awards.
The decision to enter the supplemental draft, a rare move for a player of Sorsby’s caliber, is reportedly due to unforeseen personal circumstances, according to sources close to the family. While details remain private, it is understood that these circumstances necessitate his immediate departure from collegiate athletics and entrance into professional football. NFL scouts project Sorsby as a potential Day 2 pick, with some analysts suggesting he could even crack the late first round for a quarterback-needy team willing to forfeit a future pick. His combination of arm talent, mobility, and leadership has drawn comparisons to quarterbacks like Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts in terms of his dual-threat capabilities, though scouts note he still needs to refine his pocket presence and consistency on deep throws. Teams like the Atlanta Falcons, who continue to seek a long-term solution at quarterback, and the Denver Broncos, looking to solidify their future under center, are among those rumored to be evaluating Sorsby closely. The supplemental draft process allows players who become eligible after the regular NFL Draft to enter the league, with teams bidding on them by forfeiting a corresponding pick in the next year’s draft.

The NBA offseason has officially commenced, setting the stage for what analysts predict could be one of the most volatile trade markets in recent memory. With the 2026 NBA Draft just weeks away and numerous teams eyeing significant roster overhauls, the league is abuzz with trade speculation, highlighted by the release of CBS Sports’ comprehensive list of the top 50 offseason trade candidates.
At the forefront of trade discussions is Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown, who, despite enjoying arguably the finest season of his career in 2025-26, finds himself embroiled in persistent trade rumors. Brown’s exceptional campaign saw him average 27.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 4.5 assists, earning him a coveted First-Team All-NBA selection and leading the Celtics to the Eastern Conference Finals. However, reports from "Beantown" indicate underlying tensions regarding contract negotiations and the team’s long-term strategic direction. Multiple league sources suggest the Celtics could be open to moving Brown if an opportunity arises to acquire another established superstar, potentially shifting the team’s championship window.
Further fueling the league’s trade frenzy is Milwaukee Bucks’ two-time MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak has been a constant fixture in the rumor mill for months, with sentiment shifting from "if he’ll be traded" to "when he’ll be traded." Despite another dominant season where he averaged 30.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 6.2 assists, the Bucks’ early exit from the playoffs has reportedly led to a re-evaluation of the team’s core and Antetokounmpo’s long-term future in Milwaukee, where he has expressed a desire to compete for championships consistently. Sam Quinn’s analysis identifies 12 potential suitors, with teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, and Dallas Mavericks reportedly preparing lucrative trade packages built around young talent, draft capital, and established veterans to acquire the generational talent.
The extensive list of trade candidates also features a host of other prominent names. De’Aaron Fox, now with the San Antonio Spurs after a high-profile trade in 2025, is reportedly on the block as the Spurs continue their rebuild around a younger core. Lauri Markkanen of the Utah Jazz, following a series of injury-plagued seasons, could be moved as the Jazz look to capitalize on his remaining trade value. Kevin Durant, a seasoned veteran with the Houston Rockets, is rumored to be seeking a move to a contending team as his career enters its twilight. Jamal Murray’s future with the Denver Nuggets is uncertain amid contract extension talks, and Franz Wagner of the Orlando Magic is drawing interest from teams seeking a versatile wing, as Orlando considers retooling their roster.
In related NBA news, the Chicago Bulls have reportedly finalized a deal to hire former NBA player and highly respected assistant coach David Vanterpool as their next head coach. Vanterpool, known for his defensive acumen and player development skills honed during stints with the Portland Trail Blazers and Minnesota Timberwolves, takes over from the recently departed Billy Donovan. The Bulls’ front office expressed confidence that Vanterpool’s vision aligns with their goal of building a competitive, defensively-sound team focused on sustained success, signaling a new era for the franchise after another disappointing season that saw them miss the playoffs.
NFL 2026: Bust Alert for High-Profile Prospects
As NFL training camps approach, a shadow of concern looms over several highly touted prospects from recent drafts who are perilously close to earning the dreaded "bust" label. Analysts are closely scrutinizing players entering their third professional seasons, with expectations weighing heavily after substantial draft capital was invested in their potential.
Among those facing a critical prove-it year is Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. The No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Harrison Jr. has struggled to replicate his collegiate dominance in the NFL. After a respectable but not spectacular rookie season in 2024 (780 yards, 4 touchdowns), his 2025 campaign was severely hampered by a persistent hamstring injury, limiting him to just eight games and a meager 350 receiving yards. Cardinals General Manager Monti Ossenfort recently commented, "Marvin is an incredibly talented player, and we believe in his potential. The focus now is on his health and ensuring he can stay on the field and consistently contribute." The Cardinals’ hopes for a revitalized offense hinge significantly on Harrison Jr.’s ability to overcome both injury and the pressure of his draft status.
Harrison Jr. is not alone on the list of underperforming former first-rounders. Former 2024 first-round quarterback Anthony Richardson, who was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts, has also faced significant hurdles. After an injury-shortened rookie season, his 2025 performance was marked by inconsistency and a high turnover rate, leading to questions about his long-term viability as a franchise quarterback. Similarly, quarterback Jaxon Daniels, a top-10 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft for the Seattle Seahawks, has struggled mightily to adapt to the professional game. Daniels notably lost his starting job midway through the 2025 season to veteran Kyler Murray, who was acquired by the Seahawks in a mid-season trade, marking a significant setback for Daniels’ burgeoning career.
Conversely, some post-first-round rookies from the 2026 draft are already making significant waves. New Orleans Saints tight end Oscar Delp, a third-round selection out of Georgia, is generating considerable buzz in offseason workouts. Delp, known for his strong blocking and reliable hands, had a stellar collegiate career, capped by a 600-yard, 7-touchdown senior season for the Bulldogs. Early reports from Saints camp suggest Delp is quickly ascending the depth chart and could carve out a significant role in the team’s offense from Week 1, providing a much-needed versatile weapon for quarterback Derek Carr.
