Top high school QB prospect Quinn Ewers skipping senior year to enroll at Ohio State

Ohio State landed the top quarterback recruit in the class of 2022 when Quinn Ewers flipped from Texas to sign with the Buckeyes last October. As it turns out, they will not have to wait any longer to get him on campus.

Ewers announced in a lengthy statement on Monday that he will forego his senior season at Southlake Carroll High School in Texas to enroll at Ohio State. The 18-year-old said he made the decision in part because Texas is one of the states that does not allow high school athletes to profit off their names, images and likenesses.

“Over the past few weeks, following Texas’ UIL informing me I would be prohibited from profiting off my own name, image and likeness, I’ve taken time to think about what lies ahead of me, both in the short- and long-term,” Ewers wrote. “It’s unfortunate I’ve found myself in this situation, as my preference would have been to complete my senior season at Southlake Carroll along with the teammates and friends I’ve taken the field alongside the past three years.”
