Agent Ron Slavin Says Quarterback Brendan Sorsby Faced Consequences for Underage Gambling Issue
Agent Ron Slavin told reporters that former Indiana quarterback Brendan Sorsby did not avoid punishment after allegations of underage gambling, noting personal costs and media scrutiny.
Agent Ron Slavin told a sports-talk program on Monday that quarterback Brendan Sorsby has not escaped repercussions for the underage gambling allegations that ended his NCAA eligibility for 2026. Slavin said Sorsby chose to return to school in January after a discussion with a general manager, and that the decision cost him significant potential earnings. He added that Sorsby paid his own legal fees and endured extensive media criticism, which Slavin described as a substantial penalty.
Slavin also pointed out that many commentators who criticized Sorsby appear on programs sponsored by sportsbooks, suggesting a conflict of interest. He emphasized that Sorsby’s betting while at Indiana was directed toward his teammates’ success rather than attempting to influence game outcomes. According to Slavin, Sorsby remains motivated to prove himself in the NFL and aims for a successful professional career.
The broader question remains whether Sorsby will enter the NFL via the supplemental draft in 2026 or wait for the 2027 draft, given his current ineligibility to play college football.
