“First and foremost I want to thank God for blessing me with the opportunity to play the sport that I love,” Sorsby posted on X. I would also like to thank coach Allen, coach Bell, coach Carey, and the rest of the Indiana coaching staff for giving me a chance to play for the Hoosiers.”

“I would also like to thank my teammates for pushing me to be my best every day in practice and believing in me. After careful conversations with my family and God, I would like to announce that I’m entering the transfer portal.”
