Overview
Luke Fedlam is representing Ohio high school athlete, Jamier Brown, in a lawsuit against the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OSHAA). The lawsuit challenges the current prohibition against earning compensation for name, image and likeness rights for high school athletes in Ohio.
In the Dayton Daily News article, "Family of Wayne football star Averette-Brown sues OHSAA over NIL policy," Luke states, “High School student athletes, especially at the elite level, have opportunities to be able to engage in name, image and likeness, but they need to be authorized by their state high school athletic association to be able to do that, and that’s what this lawsuit is all about.”
