This will end up being the steal of the class imo. Could be the next Dillon Gabriel in college.

Depth Chart Outlook​

Fahey is competing for the QB3 spot as a freshman in 2026 with Justyn Martin, a fifth-year quarterback who transferred to Ohio State this offseason. His first chance to compete for the starting job could come in 2027, assuming Julian Sayin enters the 2027 NFL draft.

That said, Fahey will have a challenging path to a future starting job at Ohio State. Current QB2 Tavien St. Clair is the heavy favorite to be Ohio State’s next starting quarterback after Sayin, and given Ryan Day's track record at OSU, there's a good chance that five-star quarterbacks will continue to come to Columbus even after Sayin and St. Clair are gone.

That’s not to say that Fahey lacks the talent to be a big-time quarterback, even though he is a bit undersized at 5-11. That said, Fahey isn't afraid of the competition and how tough it will be to be QB1 for Ohio State. In fact, he has expected it since the moment he committed to the Buckeyes.

“At other schools, I felt like the path to being a starting quarterback was easier. But again, I don't want to be scared of competition when in life you're going to have to compete,” Fahey said. “I know those guys will make me work hard at every aspect while I'm there, if that's on the field, in the weight room, sprints. And again, my goal is to be an NFL quarterback. And when you're around people who are better than you, it only pushes you to be better. It only makes you work that much harder.”
