Per this article VHSL says yes
Back in July of 2023.
"rules" from the article: A high school athlete will forfeit his or her amateur status, according to VHSL rules, by capitalizing on athletic fame by receiving compensation, endorsement or gifts by using the intellectual property of the VHSL or a member school. Intellectual property includes a school, district or region name, uniforms, mascots or logos. High school athletes can’t reference their school, team, district, region or VHSL while participating in NIL activities. They also can’t endorse or promote goods or services during team activities or events.

If you get paid, you’re a pro. Amateurs don’t get paid.

If you get paid in HS, you are ineligible. Nothing has changed but it has.**
