GHSA to permit NIL for high school athletes

Georgia high school football will look different after the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) approved a measure to allow athletes to profit off their name, image, and likeness.

GHSA is following the NCAA, which now permits college student athletes to make money via name, image, and likeness.

The current high school football environment will likely change with more players transferring to larger schools or better high school football programs in order to make some money while they are in high school.

The Georgia Bulldogs continue to rely on signing elite in-state high school talent to compete at the highest level of college football. Name, image, and likeness has been a game changer for college football.

Another notable change to GHSA is that there will be six classes instead of seven. There will no longer be a 7A. Georgia is the country’s 30th state to allow name, image, and likeness at the high school level.

Five-star Georgia Bulldogs quarterback commit Dylan Raiola, who plays for Buford High School, would be able to make a significant amount of money at the high school level.
