Ohio State five-star 2022 QB commit Quinn Ewers is "leaning" towards skipping his senior year of high school, he told Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel.
Well, this is a pretty big deal to say the least. While players enrolling early has happened quite often in recent years, there haven't been many instances in which a recruit has decided to forego his entire senior year. Ewers (6'3/206) is strongly considering doing just that, because of what he could potentially earn in endorsements thanks to the NCAA's new name, image and likeness (NIL) rules. Holy Kombucha, a Texas-based company, has offered Ewers a lucrative endorsement deal. But there's a problem: Texas doesn't allow prep athletes to accept such deals.
As a result, Ewers and his family are leaning towards the quarterback foregoing his final year at Southlake Carroll in order to enroll at Ohio State (he has one English course to complete, but that should be done by early August), and take advantage of endorsement opportunities that could approach seven figures.
? so wow a HS that hasn?t played a game of college and could never be anything more than a backup is capable landing a 7 figure NIL deal?
From a probiotic tea company I?ve never heard of? Who is doing the ROI on some of this stuff?
I think the next evolution of NIL is trying to establish ?market value? parameters somehow
