Buckeye Breakdown

Reaction to Quinn Ewers "Leaning Towards" Early Enrolling at Ohio State

Yahoo! Sports' Pete Thamel dropped a bombshell report on Wednesday evening, as Ohio State Class of 2022 QB commit Quinn Ewers told Thamel he is "leaning towards" reclassifying, skipping his senior year at Southlake Carroll (Texas) and joining the Buckeyes this fall. The reason behind this stunning turn of events? Ewers has the chance to earn nearly $1 million in the next year on his Name, Image and Likeness. Texas law prohibits him from making money off his NIL as a high school player.

 

Brendan Gulick, BuckeyesNow Director of Recruiting Andrew Lind and SI All-American National Director of Recruiting John Garcia Jr. break down what this means for the Buckeyes immediately - and the precedent it could set moving forward.
