While the road ahead with the Texas Tech football program remains uncertain, Sorsby stressed his commitment to ongoing treatment and to serving as a resource for others confronting similar struggles. He hopes his experience can help chip away at the stigma that often surrounds addiction in professional sports.
Sorsby said he is looking forward to returning to Texas Tech and hopes to continue his collegiate career, but his immediate focus is on maintaining his recovery and using his platform to encourage others to seek help without shame.
