FC: Top Ohio State recruit Quinn Ewers considering skipping senior HS season…
- Thread starter Midnighter2
- Start date
When would he enroll? no way he can for fall semester. I assume he has some coursework to complete ?
Boy, this is getting good. Wonder when McCord hits the portal? Or even Stroud after this year?
So you're saying he ain't come to play school?
I was just wondering about NIL for high school kids. What are the rules for kids playing college ball? Do they actually have to graduate or pass a GED?
I best enjoy college football while I still can because with all the NIL and alignment crap I might as well just watch NFL.
Seems like something the lawyers will be lining up to challenge. If the NCAA can't legally stop it why should the state of TX?
If I am reading this correctly, Ewers and his family are leaning toward having Ewers enrolling at Ohio State this season. Like, three weeks from now. This is an absurd but huge piece of news.
I wonder how this would affect tOSU’s strategy in taking a quarterback in the 2022 class. Unfortunately, I’m sure those of you who follow recruiting know exactly what is on my mind.
Ohio State would probably be best off having Ewers for his age 19-22 years. If he enrolls this fall, they’ll have him for more like 18-21. Perhaps this is a minor point, maybe he takes a redshirt, who knows?

In a related story the Texas State Legislature just called an emergence meeting to reconsider allowing Texas HS players to receive NIL led by Legislators who are Aggies and Longhorns. Meanwhile Legislators who are SMU alums were seen shaking their heads in disbelief.
I can hardly wait for an 8th grader to receive a scholarship offer and decide to skip four years of high school football to develop and cash in his NIL opportunities.
..and the Austin City Schools have applied to play in the Florida Penal League.
"Dumb as dirt" usually doesn't graduate high school a year early.
You don’t have to graduate. You only have to complete the core requirements. Kids can easily reach that status with a little planning, but few actually do it.
I’m just gonna sit back and watch what the phenom from Southlake Carroll (aka Quinn “Billy Ray”Ewers) does once game time temperatures drop below 60 degrees.

I’ve posted this before, but again, consider a world where JoePa visited a recruit and his family at the recruit’s house, ate mom’s psghetti for dinner, and promised mom that he would take care of her son and would make sure he got a top education. How archaic. 😞
Yes, he went to the junior college his brother played at a for a year, then got drafted.
So Ohio State is going to take a recruit who never graduated from high school?? The last time that happened was a few years back when pitt tried to recruit a Florida kid named Javonny Ward who was rejected by Miami when they found out he flunked out of high school. That didn't bother pitt. They wanted the guy but eventually he refused to come north to play.
I expect the Texas legislature to change that post haste. I mean its Texas and its football.
Well, he would graduate - per the article:
Ewers is in a position academically where he could take one core English class online, graduate from high school early, and enroll and be eligible at Ohio State for the 2021 season. The family expects that course to be completed in time for him to take part in preseason camp, which begins Aug. 3. The Buckeyes' quarterback situation is wide open heading into the season, as none of the three scholarship QBs have thrown a college pass.
He's taking one core English and will have enough credits to graduate a year early - before the start of the 2021 CF season.
Reading Posnanski's book on Joe right now, actually... and man, it REALLY was a different world just even 10-15 years ago. He was Joe until the end...
What a mistake for this kid. You are going to get to a point where the natural progression is messed up and kids end up either transferring or even quitting. There are so many consequences to this thing from a football and basically an adolescent maturation.
Note to kids: stop trying to grow up so fast, it will come and so will success. Think of the late 90's and how many kids entered the NBA Draft and failed.

The other thing that a Ewers early enrollment ensures is that one or two of their 4 QBs will be hitting the portal. And everybody assumes the golden child will take over their starting QB position but he still has Stroud, Miller, and McCord in front of him. All of those QBs have the potential and raw ability to lead a major college program.
Keep an eye on Jack Miller. He was a high 4 star at the beginning of his senior year but suffered a season ending injury causing him to miss his senior year and drop in the rankings. Not sure what his injury was or how he's recovered from it but could be a solid get for a program as he's likely the first one in the portal

Last night, sources close to Ewers said the possibility of skipping his senior year of high school is solely meant to put pressure on the state of Texas to allow NIL for high school athletes. It's a publicity stunt. Supposedly the Ewers family and Ohio State do not want him to miss his senior year of high school because of NIL.
What kind of money would be changing hands to get an English course completed in 3 days?
Summer school in Virginia was about 22 teaching days this year and it ended around July 10th. Also, it was remedial only.
Publicity stunt sounds right.

Ewers was already set to enroll in January, so it's not like he was going to have a typical senior year in HS anyway. According to the family, they don't need the money but disagree with law, so they're taking a stand on principle.
