Ohio State quarterback Quinn Ewers just signed his biggest NIL deal yet
Quinn Ewers will be a millionaire before even starting a game for Ohio State.
The NIL deals keep rolling in for Ohio State freshman quarterback Quinn Ewers.
After skipping his senior year of high school in Texas to cash in through NIL deals, Ewers has signed his third known endorsement deal since enrolling at Ohio State.
Days after signing with local car dealership Ricart Automotive and about three weeks after his first NIL deal with Holy Kombucha, Ewers has signed his most lucrative NIL deal to date.
According to Darren Rovell, Ewers has signed a multi-year deal with athlete autograph giant GTSM that will pay the nation’s top recruit more than $1 million.

Quinn Ewers cashes in with his biggest NIL deal yet
Ewers along with Alabama quarterback Bryce Young have been the biggest beneficiaries of the new NIL legislation allowing athletes to cash in on their name, image and likeness. Neither has started a game yet and Ewers has only been on campus for about a month, but both are millionaires before making a start.
It’s a good investment for these companies to get into the Ewers and Young business because they are about to be the face of the sport this year and for the next three years.
It’s wild to think Ewers would be a senior in high school right now but because of Texas not allowing high schoolers to cash in on their NIL, he left school, enrolled at Ohio State and is making bank.
This is a new era and the financial details for players of Ewers and Young’s magnitude are going to benefit from them setting the groundwork now.
Ewers may not see the field this year for the Buckeyes with C.J. Stroud winning the job but that won’t stop his earning power from commanding big NIL deals. When Ewers gets his chance to prove his lofty recruiting rankings are legit, he’ll have more companies throwing piles and piles of cash his way.
