He’s not a runner….so 2nd 8 no 3 yd runs or passes. Sayin doesn’t really fit in with a volume running game. He needs an offense that is 70 30 pass not 40 60.

In an interview with Jim Rome, Day says that he has a lot of faith in the ability of Sayin to keep growing, even as next season goes along.
"There's not many guys his age with one year of playing that have made it to New York City...For his first year as a starter, he did a lot of great things. This is one of the few times in my career that I've had a quarterback come back to play for two years in a row...The best quarterbacks are the ones that do that: they get better year after year, and as we've all seen, experience in college football matters."
Day understands that Sayin lacked experience, and now that he has that, the Buckeyes should be able to play better in the games late in the season that they struggled in. Sayin's worst games were in the Big Ten Championship and the Cotton Bowl, two of the games they needed to win to help complete their goals.
Ohio State is going to be one of the favorites to win it all next season.

Julian Sayin Taking More Command at Line of Scrimmage, Working on Mobility Entering 2026
Ohio State is enabling Julian Sayin to take command of the offense at the line of scrimmage in 2026, and the second-year starter is working to add more of a run threat to his game.
Julian Sayin Taking More Command at Line of Scrimmage, Working on Mobility Entering 2026
There are advantages to having a seasoned quarterback in a Ryan Day offense. Well, and an Arthur Smith offense, too.
Thus far in his Ohio State tenure, Day has had three men under center who entered a campaign with a full season of starting experience or more: Justin Fields in 2020, C.J. Stroud in 2022 and Will Howard in 2024. The return for each of those situations? An increased ability to make checks at the line of scrimmage and have an extra coach-like set of eyes at field level.
As Julian Sayin enters his second season as the Buckeyes’ starting quarterback in 2026, his role in the offense and getting Ohio State in the correct looks at the line of scrimmage is increasing – and he’s working to improve his mobility, too.
“I think we've done a lot (of) giving the quarterback a lot of responsibility at the line of scrimmage within our new kind of – what we've been running these past few days,” Sayin said. “I think there's that, and then it also comes with just having more leadership out there and really taking command of the offense and, ‘Hey, this is the route that I want you at and this is the depth and this is the timing, because I'm the one out there throwing it to you and this is how it's going to go.’”

Ohio State football QB Julian Sayin admits how he approached the idea of the transfer portal after last season
Ohio State’s starting quarterback had to make a transfer portal decision just like every player does after last season. Julian Sayin’s approach is one Buckeye Nation will appreciate.

Ohio State football QB Julian Sayin admits how he approached the idea of the transfer portal after last season
Ryan Day has something he’s only had with Justin Fields and CJ Stroud in Columbus with the Ohio State Buckeyes in 2026: a returning starting quarterback.Ohio State will have QB Julian Sayin back for a second season in 2026 after he was a Heisman finalist as a redshirt freshman last year. Sayin is a former Alabama transfer, so he knows how the portal works, and he was recently asked how he approached the idea of transferring out after last season with Ohio State.
Ohio State’s Julian Sayin keeps it real about the transfer portal
Every player has to weigh the idea of transferring after each season, it’s just how college football goes. We see players in good situations transfer to other teams for a bigger payday all the time. Sayin though, never even thought about leaving Columbus.“I didn’t talk to anybody, and there was no reason to talk to me,” Sayin told On3’s Chris Low recently. “I wasn’t going anywhere, I would say everybody probably already knew that and wasn’t going to waste their time. Why would you leave here and play quarterback anywhere else?”
There was zero reason for Julian Sayin to walk away from Ohio State
Quarterbacks want to play at Ohio State because of Day’s ability to develop them, but it makes it even easier when you’re throwing the ball to Jeremiah Smith. Ohio State will return its star wide receiver for his junior season and Bo Jackson is back to lead the running back position as a sophomore. Add in an experienced offensive line and there was really no reason for Sayin to even think about leaving.Ohio State brought in an NFL offensive coordinator for what could be Sayin’s last season in college. Working with Arthur Smith is going to be a positive for the 6-foot-1 quarterback and getting ready for the next level.
Sayin needs to take a step in his second season starting both in the pocket and showing the ability to run when needed. If Sayin can take a step forward in his second season, Ohio State’s going to have a good shot at accomplishing its biggest goals.
