We’ve heard of college football and basketball players leaving school early to declare for the respective professional sports but what about leaving high school early to play college football?
That’s common during the spring as freshmen enroll early to participate in spring practice all over the place, but do so in the fall and skip your senior year of high school?
That’s what top quarterback recruit Quinn Ewers of Texas and an Ohio State commitment for the 2022 recruiting class is considering.
“I don’t really know, I don’t have a final decision made quite yet,” Ewers told Yahoo! “I’m leaning toward leaving and going up to Ohio, just so I don’t have to deal with UIL [University Interscholastic League] stuff and can get comfortable with Ohio and Columbus and start to learn.”
Ewers is going to have to make his decision pretty quickly as Ohio State is set to open fall camp on August 3.
It’s easy for me to sit in my ivory tower and suggest children grow up to fast and that Ewers should return to high school because you only get to experience that once, but I wasn’t on the verge of making a possible seven figures in endorsement money when I was getting ready for college, either.
As Bob Dylan once said, “you better start swimming or you’ll sink like a stone, for the times, they are a-changin'”.
