The college football landscape saw a huge decision handed down from the courts in Texas, allowing Texas Tech’s Brendan Sorsby to be eligible in the 2026 college football season. Sorsby was originally deemed ineligible for numerous gambling violations, but a judge eventually ruled in favor of Sorsby, allowing him to play his final season in college football with a two-game suspension.

After this wild decision, former Super Bowl champ Tyrann Mathieu poked fun at the idea of finding a way to play his final years in college.

Sorsby is not going to have to worry about the NFL Supplemental Draft, for now, because he can play as of today. Texas Tech will be extremely relieved their transfer QB will get to suit up for them, despite previous worries.

Sorsby was caught violating the NCAA’s gambling policy by placing numerous wagers on different sports, including Indiana football, when he was on the team.

A judge in Lubbock, Texas, where Texas Tech is located, made the shocking decision to give Sorsby a temporary injunction to give him the chance to play next season. Sorsby will miss the first two games of the Red Raiders’ season. He won’t play against Abilene Christian or Oregon State but will be ready for their Big 12 opener.

Amid eligibility cases across college sports, Mathieu went to social media to troll the decision and try to find a judge in Louisiana who would let him return to college sports.

“Can I return back to college football? I only played 2 seasons, should have 2 more eligibility years left…. Can you find me a judge in Louisiana who can see to it that Honey Badger gets to finish his last 2 years of college football? Who’s going to say no?????” said Mathieu.

Mathieu was quite the player during his two college seasons at LSU. Wearing the famous No. 7 for the LSU Tigers, Mathieu earned his nickname, “The Honey Badger,” for his elite play.

Mathieu was one of the first few players to make the No. 7 tradition at LSU popular because of his eye-catching return touchdowns and big hits over the field. He finished fifth in Heisman voting in 2011 and was one of the most electric players in LSU history.

Of course, Mathieu won’t be able to suit up again and play college football after a successful NFL career, where he was named a First-Team All-Pro three times and was able to hoist the Lombardi Trophy once. But Mathieu wasn’t going to miss out on poking fun at the judge who made the controversial decision to make Sorsby eligible.
