Deadspin | Report: Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby placed over 10k wagers since 2022  Texas Tech’s Brendan Sorsby goes through a drill during spring football practice, Tuesday, March 24, 2026, at the Womble Football Center.   Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby has placed more than 10,000 sports betting wagers since 2022, according to a report from On3.  Sorsby, who transferred to Texas Tech from Cincinnati this offseason, announced Monday he is entering a treatment program for a gambling addiction, taking an indefinite leave of absence from the team.  Per On3, he was averaging as many as 20 bets per day on a variety of different sportsbook apps across multiple states.  This reportedly included betting on Indiana games when he was redshirting as a member of the team in 2022. ESPN reported Monday that all of the bets were on Indiana to win and none were on games he played in.   However, NCAA rules forbid collegiate athletes from betting on any sport (collegiate or professional) for which the NCAA sponsors a championship. Sorsby reportedly bet on college football and MLB games.  This could lead to him being deemed ineligible for the 2026 season, pending the NCAA’s active investigation.  Sorsby, ESPN’s No. 1-ranked transfer in this year’s class, threw for 5,613 yards, 45 touchdowns and 12 interceptions over the last two seasons for the Bearcats. He also ran for 1,027 yards and 18 touchdowns in 24 games.  –Field Level Media    #Deadspin #Report #Texas #Tech #Brendan #Sorsby #10k #wagers

Deadspin | Brooks Koepka commits to alternate-field event ahead of PGA Championship  Apr 10, 2026; Augusta, Georgia, USA; Brooks Koepka tees off on the ninth hole during the second round of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. Mandatory Credit: Michael Madrid-Imagn Images   Brooks Koepka continues to prove his willingness to play in second-tier events as he grinds to stay in good form ahead of the final three 2026 majors.  As part of his immediate return to the PGA Tour through the hastily-created Returning Player Program after Koepka parted with LIV Golf, he is ineligible to accept sponsors exemptions into 2026 signature events. With two such events leading up to next month’s PGA Championship, Koepka has committed to next week’s alternate-field event, the Myrtle Beach Classic.  Among his five major titles, Koepka has a trio of PGA Championship victories. Myrtle Beach and its  million purse present a final tune-up opportunity for Koepka while the majority of the tour’s marquee players will be competing for  million at the Truist Championship at Quail Hollow in Charlotte.   Myrtle Beach does provide an additional opportunity for Koepka. Should he win the event, Koepka would earn a spot into the final two signature events of the season at the Memorial and Travelers championships.  Koepka is coming off a missed cut with teammate Shane Lowry at the Zurich Classic. That followed a solid T-12 at the Masters. He does have four top-20 finishes in his past five stroke-play events, sitting 59th in the FedEx Cup standings.   He was the first alternate two weeks ago at the RBC Heritage, where Koepka was seen waiting out the first-round tee times in the event that someone withdrew. His presence at the Myrtle Beach Classic will provide the third-year event with a rare marquee name.  “Having Brooks Koepka commit to the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic is a tremendous moment for our tournament and our community,” tournament director Darren Nelson said, per the Post and Courier. “He’s one of the most accomplished players of his generation, and his presence speaks to the continued momentum of this event on the PGA TOUR calendar.”  The PGA Championship will begin May 14 at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pa.  –Field Level Media   #Deadspin #Brooks #Koepka #commits #alternatefield #event #ahead #PGA #ChampionshipApr 10, 2026; Augusta, Georgia, USA; Brooks Koepka tees off on the ninth hole during the second round of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club.

Deadspin | Raiders’ Fernando Mendoza to wear No. 15 with blessing from Tom Flores  Apr 24, 2026; Henderson, NV, USA; Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza at the Festival of Football at the Intermountain Health Performance Center. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images   Top overall draft pick Fernando Mendoza will wear jersey No. 15 with the Las Vegas Raiders.  The selection of that jersey number comes with the blessing of Hall of Famer Tom Flores, a two-time Super Bowl-winning head coach of the Raiders as well as the first quarterback in franchise history. Flores wore the No. 15 with the then-Oakland Raiders from 1960-66.  “He deserves my blessing,” Flores said, per the team website. “Because if he’s not the real deal, I don’t know what the hell I’m doing.”  Flores, 89, didn’t stop there.  “He’s perfect,” Flores said of Mendoza. “He can make every throw. He can make the plays. What can’t he do? He does it all. He’s fun to watch. … Plus, he’s a good-looking kid. Like me.”  Mendoza repaid the compliment upon hearing it.   “He’s more handsome than me,” Mendoza said. “But, it speaks to the testament of once a Raider, always a Raider. Of how involved the alumni is. And I’m so blessed to be a part of this organization. I can’t thank (Flores) enough. I’m so blessed.”  Flores, obviously, wasn’t the only player to wear No. 15 with the Raiders, who don’t retire jersey numbers. Fellow quarterbacks Jeff Hostetler, Matt Flynn and Gardner Minshew II have won the number, as well as wide receivers Michael Crabtree and Nelson Agholor.   Mendoza, 22, provided the signature moment to his epic season with a dive across the goal line on fourth down in the No. 1 Hoosiers’ 27-21 victory over No. 10 Miami in the College Football Playoff national championship game on Jan. 19.  Listed at 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds, Mendoza completed 72% of his passes for 3,535 yards and 41 touchdowns this past season. He also rushed for 276 yards and seven scores in his lone season with Indiana after transferring from Cal (2023-24).  –Field Level Media   #Deadspin #Raiders #Fernando #Mendoza #wear #blessing #Tom #FloresApr 24, 2026; Henderson, NV, USA; Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza at the Festival of Football at the Intermountain Health Performance Center.
