QB Tavien St. Clair (Official Thread)



“I'm competing with myself,” St. Clair said on Tuesday. “I'm trying to get better every day, be who I can be for this team, wherever that's needed. I'm trying to be the best teammate I can be for these quarterbacks, the best teammate I can be for this team, because they're all my brothers.”

“I have a luxury of all great players on the field at the same time as me here,” St. Clair said. “At Bellefontaine, I had good players, but they weren't the level that I have here. So I felt obligated to go and have to make the play, like I had to make the play. Sometimes it wasn't always the right play. But here, you have the great players, they're gonna be in the right spots. They know exactly what they're supposed to do. All you have to do is get the ball to them at the right time.”

“You feel like you have an idea coming in, like, yeah, I'm gonna have to watch a lot of film, things like that,” St. Clair said. “But the attention to detail at Ohio State is different. Every single play, every detail has to matter. Every inch matters. That's what Coach Day and Coach Mick always say. They always preach that to us. So every inch actually matters here. And you can't have a bad day at Ohio State.”

Ryan Day said just a few words that should have Buckeye Nation excited about the next quarterback after Julian Sayin

Ohio State has a big time talent waiting behind Julian Sayin.

Ryan Day gives latest update on freshman Tavien St. Clair

“I think he’s had his best week of practice this last week,” Day said on Thursday. “Had a good day on Tuesday. Making some good throws. He has the potential, and he’s gaining on it every day.”



St. Clair is on pace to redshirt this season with just one game played and two pass attempts. The former five-star recruit was a major in-state win for the Buckeyes. He was the No. 1 quarterback and the No. 7 overall player nationally in the 2025 class. The 6-foot-4 quarterback has all the traits you could want from a player under center.

This season has been all about running the scout team and developing there for St. Clair. The freshman is expected to be the backup next year, with Lincoln Kienholz likely moving on. The current plan has gone as expected, and Day’s update on St. Clair’s progress is exactly what Ohio State fans should want to hear. He’s now most of the way through his first season, and the game should be beginning to slow down for him. Sayin may be the star on the field now, but the Buckeyes likely have another one waiting behind him.

Just sayin': I'm not sure that Ohio State really wants him to "move on". Sometimes you might need 3 QBs that are actually ready to play.
