From USA Today:
Quarterback Quinn Ewers, the top-ranked player in the 2022 recruiting class, has decided to skip his senior season of high school and enroll immediately at Ohio State, according to multiple reports.
Yahoo Sports reported last week the possibility of the five-star prospect leaving Southlake Carroll High School in suburban Dallas, Texas, early so that he’d be able to earn income from his name, image and likeness. That is now permissible in college sports but not at the high school level.
Karissa Niehoff, the executive director of the National Federation of State High School Associations, clarified last month after NIL was approved at the college level that high school athletes remained ineligible to profit from their name, image and likeness.
"Current high school student-athletes CANNOT earn money as a result of their connection to their high school team," she wrote on the federation's website.
Ewers' father told Yahoo that his son's NIL earnings could approach $1 million.
