The new Name, Image, and Likeness rule put into place has already created opportunities for a ton of athletes across the country. Now, Quinn Ewers, the No. 1 recruit that has already committed to play at Ohio State, is seriously contemplating going to school for his senior year of high school.

Ewers has a tough decision to make, and while he has yet to make such a decision, it appears he is being swayed to skipping out on his senior year of high school according to Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports.

Here's Ewers himself letting us know how he feels.

“I’m leaning toward leaving and going up to Ohio, just so I don’t have to deal with UIL stuff and can get comfortable with Ohio and Columbus and start to learn.”

If he decides to skip his final year of high school ball, this could be the first of a spiral trend that will eventually see many other high school stars do the same. If Ewers decides to return to school, he will pass on potentially making millions of dollars as the star quarterback already has offers in place.

“Ewers has emerged as such a precocious and recognizable star that he has the potential to earn nearly a million dollars in the next year by profiting off his Name Image and Likeness. A local company called Holy Kombucha is among those offering a deal to Ewers, and it includes cash and equity in the company. There are several other offers, including national brands.”

Seriously, if Ewers decides to leave school and go to Ohio State early, it could cause a ripple effect across the landscape of sports and more and more athletes could end up following suit.
