His current team, Texas Tech, said in a Monday afternoon release Sorsby is on an indefinite leave of absence.  A highly sought after quarterback in the most recent transfer portal cycle, Sorsby is reportedly under investigation by the NCAA for a long-term pattern of sports gambling.  ESPN\u2019s Pete Thamel reported Sorsby\u2019s sports gambling does include bets on Indiana games when he was a freshman at IU in 2022.  \u201cAccording to ESPN sources, Sorsby bet on Indiana football while redshirting for IU as a true freshman in 2022, a season in which he played in a single game as a reserve,\u201d Thamel said on X.\u00a0 \u201cThe bets in 2022, per sources, were on Indiana to win and none came in a game in which Sorsby appeared.\u201d  Indiana Athletics provided the following statement to The South-Central Indiana News Network: \u201cToday, we were made aware of a media report regarding a student-athlete who last competed for our football program in 2023.\u00a0 Indiana University has no further comment at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Indiana coach Tom Allen recruited Sorsby to Bloomington after Josh Hoover, who is now IU\u2019s anticipated 2026 starter, decommitted from the program in late 2021.  Sorsby only appeared in one game in 2022, a 45-14 loss to Penn State.\u00a0 According to Thamel\u2019s report, Sorsby did not gamble on that contest. The 6-3, 230-pound native of Denton, Texas split time at quarterback for IU with Tayven Jackson in 2023.\u00a0 He threw for 1,587 yards in 10 games for Indiana with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions.\u00a0 He rushed for 477 sack adjusted yards with four touchdowns. His completion percentage was 57% and his quarterback rating was 129.88.\u00a0 He started the last six games of the season and appeared in 10 contests for the Hoosiers in 2023. After Allen was fired in late 2023, Sorsby entered the transfer portal.\u00a0 He played for Cincinnati in 2024 and 2025. Sorsby\u2019s future at the college level is in jeopardy.\u00a0 The NCAA has a policy against any type of gambling by athletes on \u201cintercollegiate, amateur or professional athletics competition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indiana University&#8217;s Avery Parker Named the Big Ten Softball Player of the Week\u00a0<\/strong>                                                                                                                      Indiana Softball senior Avery Parker was named the Big Ten\u2019s Player of the Week for her outstanding play over from April 22-26 against Valparaiso and at Michigan.  Parker led the Hoosiers to a 3-1 week with a 14-1 win over Valparaiso and a 2-1 series victory at Michigan, including an 11-2 (F\/5) run rule on Sunday.  Individually, she hit .500 (6-for-12) on the week with five home runs and a double. She totaled 10 RBI and nine runs scored while also drawing a walk and was hit by pitch twice. She did not strike out once all weekend.  In the Sunday win at Michigan and against Valparaiso, she had two home runs in both of those games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indiana University&#8217;s Owen ten Oever Named the Big Ten Baseball Freshman of the Week\u00a0<\/strong>                                                                                                     Following a fantastic week at the plate, freshman designated hitter\u00a0Owen ten Oever\u00a0was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week on Monday afternoon. During the\u00a0Jeff Mercer\u00a0era in Bloomington, ten Oever is the 15th different player to earn the honor. It&#8217;s the fifth-straight season that at least two IU players have been named Big Ten Freshman of the Week in the same year. During last week&#8217;s action, ten Oever was the most productive player in the IU lineup. He hit .533 in four games with eight hits, two home runs and six RBIs. He hit a grand slam in the first inning of a win over Ball State and provided his first career three-hit day in Sunday&#8217;s contest with Iowa.  Of IU&#8217;s nine starting position players over the weekend, six of them have now earned a Big Ten Freshman of the Week honor in the last two seasons. The young, designated hitter joins redshirt freshman catcher\u00a0Brayden Ricketts\u00a0among the conference&#8217;s best young players this year. Sophomores\u00a0Hogan Denny,\u00a0Jake Hanley,\u00a0Will Moore\u00a0and\u00a0Cooper Malamazian\u00a0all win the award a season ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Four Indiana University Wrestlers Place at the 2026 U.S. Open in Las Vegas\u00a0 <\/strong>                                                                                                                                 Indiana Wrestling had 10 wrestlers competing at the 2026 U.S Open in the Senior and U20 levels over the weekend.
