Quinn Ewers has changed the game of football forever. By skipping his senior season of high school football and reclassifying to the Class of 2021, he enters and already racked and stacked Ohio State quarterback room, flipping the script on what elite college prospects can and will do in the NIL era.
Oh, and while Ohio State will welcome one of the most-talented recruits in college football history a year early, the program also saw the decommitment of one of the highest-rated defensive recruits of all time in Jaheim Singletary.
So yeah, busy week in college football news!
To dissect the implications of both men's massive decisions, we brought in recruiting legend Andrew Ellis to talk about what Ryan Day has to do now in terms of managing the talent in the room, the implications for quarterback recruiting in the next two cycles, and how the team moves on from Singletary.
We'll take a look at how Oklahoma and Texas joining the SEC impacts college football recruiting, and as always we'll tackle your questions in Ask Us Anything (which you should totally do, by emailing your questions to dubcast@elevenwarriors.com).
