QB Tavien St. Clair (Official Thread)

[1926Buckeyes]

Looking much better and a year as backup will be a good transition into him starting. Doubt he’ll be nearly as efficient as Sayin, but his arm is going to make games even more exciting.

Not a single worry about this kid coming in and dominating. 1st world problems

He's going to be a good one for sure. Has everything you want in a great QB.

Just hopeful that he's aware of his current limitations, and position coaches are working to making better. Seems (methinks) there's a good relation between Sayin and Tavien. No competition (for first year in awhile), as seems very delineated. Would wish that one of the Asst coaches would spend much dedicated time with Tavien, watching what Sayin does and pointing out to Tavien 'how it's done'. Or where to make improvements. Nothing helps more than time in grade, so here's hoping that Day puts Tavien in for significant minutes this season. And here's hoping that Sayin has a great season, and moves on to the NFL.

2027 is an issue if Sayin doesn’t move on. Great college qb, questionable for the pros. TSC will be ready by then and we won’t want to risk losing him. It will be an interesting competition.

This is why recruiting the best QB possible this next recruiting cycle is vital.

That said, I fully expect Sayin to jump to the NFL and for TSC to take the reins...the next QB class is very thin. Sayin is basically a Drew Brees clone.

Yeah, I'd hate to have a 3rd year of a great college QB.

I think the concerns on Sayin are overblown after 2 tough performances against the best teams. He’s not TSC, but his velocity in the spring game was good. It’s mostly him throwing over the middle consistently and taking more chances in tight windows, which is normal growth needed for a young QB.

Unless he regresses badly, no one will push him out the door after ‘26.

What relevance is his draft stock to us?

 

[RugbyBuck]

The relevance is that if Sayin doesn’t move on, we have a qb controversy or worse. I think Sayin probably leaves and St. Clair takes over. The issue is that we risk losing him if he doesn’t at least get a fair chance to win it if Sayin stays and legit game minutes if he doesn’t win it.

What makes this interesting too is NIL money vs draft money

 

[Jaxbuck]

It would be an interesting development but I think the odds are low.

The way the NFL has to reach for QB’s is a significant factor. I just don’t see him being drafted outside the first round unless he simply craters or, woody forbid, has a season stealing injury.
