High school athletes at North Carolina public schools will soon be allowed to profit off their name, image, and likeness after a Wake County judged issued a ruling on Tuesday.
The decision by Wake County Superior Court Judge Graham Shirley made the decision to reverse State Board of Education policy, which currently prohibits high school athletes from using their name, image, and likeness to make a profit.
Tuesday's ruling came as part of a lawsuit brought by the family of Faizon Brandon, the quarterback at Grimsley High School. He is the No. 1 player from the Class of 2026 and has committed to Tennessee.
