Sorsby, a college quarterback with ties to Texas and a path that could lead to the NFL Supplemental Draft if he cannot continue playing college football, has drawn interest as a future starter for the Cowboys. If he enters the NFL, analysts see Sorsby as a viable developmental option who could learn from Prescott for two-plus years before potentially taking over as Dallas’s starter around 2028. Sorsby’s collegiate resume includes stints at Indiana and Cincinnati, where he posted solid rushing and passing stats, signaling legitimate NFL starting potential despite the uncertain college eligibility situation. The Cowboys’ interest reflects Jerry Jones’s willingness to trade draft capital to secure a long-term quarterback behind Prescott.
Key takeaways:
– Prescott remains the Cowboys’ current leader with a productive 2023 season, reinforcing confidence in his role.
– Dallas is also considering a long-term successor, with Brendan Sorsby identified as a potential fit if he enters the NFL Supplemental Draft.
– Sorsby’s mix of passing and rushing ability, plus a two-plus year opportunity to learn behind Prescott, positions him as a conceivable future starter for the Cowboys.
