Texas Tech QB’s gambling saga now features Tom Brady’s Deflategate lawyer

Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby’s NCAA gambling situation just took a significant legal turn.

Sorsby has reportedly hired high-profile sports attorney Jeffrey Kessler as he attempts to preserve his college eligibility amid an NCAA investigation into alleged sports betting activity.

If Kessler's name sounds familiar to sports fans, it should.

Kessler represented Tom Brady during Deflategate and was the lead attorney in the House v. NCAA case that helped push college sports into its current revenue-sharing era.
