If you didn’t already know, Ohio State quarterback Quinn Ewer’s decision to reclassify to 2021 and enroll early was a solid move for him. Not only did he immediately reach an endorsement deal with beverage company Holy Kombucha, but now he’s reportedly landed an even more lucrative one.
According to Darren Rovell, who was the first to report the news, Ewers has signed an endorsement deal with athlete autograph company GTSM to sign autographs throughout his college career. The deal is reportedly a three-year agreement worth $1.4 million dollars according to ESPN’s Tom VanHaaren.
For perspective athletes looking to come to Ohio State to play college football, let this be another reminder that you can do a lot worse than being in a big city with all that Columbus has to offer. That, in combination with following the Buckeyes have in the city and state, and well — it’s a marriage made in endorsement and NIL heaven.
