Incoming Ohio State quarterback Quinn Ewers signed a name, image and likeness deal worth $1.4 million.

JUST IN: Athlete autograph giant GTSM has signed its first big NIL deal: A multi-year deal with @QuinnEwers, who finished HS a year early to go to Ohio State to be able to cash in on NIL.

Sources say deal negotiated by @Rubicontalent/@SPORTSTARSNYC is worth more than $1M+.

Per the report, Ewers' agents at Sports Stars and Rubicon negotiated a three-year contract with autograph vendor GT Sports Marketing. This is Ewers' third NIL deal overall.

The 6-3, 205-pounder out of Southlake, Texas was one of the top prospects in the 2022 class when he chose to skip his season year and apply early to OSU so he could take advantage of the NCAA's new NIL policy. Ewers originally committed to the University of Texas but decommitted last October since Texas prohibits high school student-athletes from profiting off of NIL.

Yahoo! Sports reported Ewers also has deals in place with a local kombucha chain and a Columbus, Ohio car dealership.
