Julian Sayin gives Ohio State football fans a glimpse into the future
The Ohio State football team was able to play four quarterbacks against Western Michigan. One of them could be the future of the Buckeyes.
The Ohio State football team pulverized Western Michigan on Saturday night. They won the game 56-0 and the defense looked as dominant as ever. On offense, the Buckeyes were able to show that they can start faster than they did in Week 1 after they scored a touchdown on their first three drives.
One of the perks of beating a team so badly is that a lot of different player get to play in the game. That's exactly what happened for the Ohio State Buckeyes. A lot of different guys got to play and show what they can do. It was really nice to see some young guys get snaps.
One of the guys who got snaps is third-string quarterback Julian Sayin. Sayin was the number-one quarterback recruit in the 2024 class and transferred to Ohio State this offseason after Nick Saban retired. He has elite talent and could be the future starter for this team.

Sayin will be one of the guys who is fighting for the starting spot next season when Howard is gone. He'll be fighting with Brown, Lincoln Kienholz, Air Noland, and incoming freshman Tavien St. Clair. Two of those guys are going to transfer next season. Sayin proves that he has a shot to be the guy who stays and leads.
Juist sayin': Yeah, the QB1 competition for 2025 will be interesting. The coaches have to give all 5 QBs a fair shot; however, I'm really hoping Sayin wins out. I just be believe he has the biggest upside and is the "real deal", etc. It would be great if no QB transferred in 2025; but that probably won't be the case.

I’d like to see more of Sayin. Brown was much better than Missouri, but Sayin impresses me much more with his passing.

Julian Sayin is the future for the Ohio State football team, but the future isn't now
The Ohio State football team has a bright future with the quarterbacks they have behind Will Howard.When you look at the quarterback position, the future is certainly bright for the Ohio State Buckeyes. Former Alabama transfer Julian Sayin was not only the top quarterback recruit in 2024, he was also the overall number one player. Talented true freshman Air Noland was in the top ten at the position.
For 2025, they’re bringing in Tavien St.Clair, who is the number two quarterback in the country. But Sayin is the one everyone is pointing to who will lead the Buckeyes into the future. However, the future isn’t now.
When it was time to replace Will Howard in the fourth quarter in Saturday’s win over Purdue, I saw many on social media complaining that Ryan Day went with Devin Brown and not Sayin. They claimed putting Brown in the game was taking valuable reps away from the guy who is the Buckeyes’ future at the position. As much as I like Sayin, he simply is not ready to be THE guy if something happens to Howard.
I like everything I’ve heard about Julian Sayin. He’s a hard worker who takes command of the huddle and was able to quickly earn the respect of his teammates. He’s athletic, has the ability to gain yards with his legs, and is accurate with his throws. But the arm strength to make all of the throws necessary to be a starter at a school wanting to challenge for a national title is not yet there. Sayin needs to get stronger.
This is not some sort of revelation. Ohio State practice observers back in August pointed out that Sayin has all the tools, but just needs to get bigger. He needs to work on his lower body so he can really step into throws and drive the ball.
Of the four throws he made against Purdue, three were of the kind that the ball needs to get there in a hurry, and it simply did not. He was accurate. The ball was most certainly put where it had to be, but the velocity was lacking.
Right now, the Buckeyes need Devin Brown to be ready in case Howard is unavailable. Julian Sayin might be the future, but the future isn’t now.
