Julian Sayin Expected to be 2025 Great OSU Quarterback
Julian Sayin is expected to be named the 2025 Ohio State starting quarterback next week. Ryan Day needs to name a starting quarterback soon because an August 30 battle with Texas is looming, which is shaping up to be a one-on-two battle. Julian Sayin is a high school five-star quarterback who transferred from the University of Alabama. Commentators are concerned that Julian Sayin is too short, but his arm talent is undeniable. Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith let it slip a couple of weeks ago that Julian Sayin would be the starting quarterback for the Buckeyes. Who do you think should be the starting quarterback at Ohio State?
Julian Sayin Will Prevail in the Battle with Lincoln Kienholz
Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz have been battling in camp this summer to be the starting quarterback at Ohio State. Julian Sayin is a high school five-star who transferred to Ohio State University from the University of Alabama. Lincoln Kinholz is a former three-sport athlete from South Dakota who is now focusing on football. Kienholz has competed well in camp by all reports, but Julian Sayin is the anointed one.
It will be interesting to see whether Keinholz transfers. There are some concerns with Julian Sayin, though he, too, has looked good. One thing to keep an eye on, with Julian Sayin being a laid-back Californian, is whether he will be a vocal enough leader? Head football coach at Ohio State, Ryan Day, has historically waited until just a few days before the first game of the season to name his starting quarterback.
However, this season, the looming battle against Texas (on August 30) will force his hand. He needs to name a starting quarterback. Brian Hartline is the new Offensive Coordinator at Ohio State. He has been coy, too, about who will be the starting quarterback, but the battle with Texas will force his hand, too.
Is Tavion St. Clare a Secret Weapon for the Buckeyes?
There is another quarterback for the deep Buckeyes. Tavion St. Clare is a true freshman. He is expected to be the third quarterback for the Buckeyes, but he is very talented. He is the quarterback of the future in Columbus. Maybe he will get some mop-up duty for the Buckeyes.
That is it. There are only three quarterbacks on the Ohio State roster. Depth is a concern for the defending national champions, particularly on the defensive line. It is odd, but the national championship has not translated to recruiting success.
Offensive Weapons Galore for Ohio State
There will be a lot of offensive weapons for Julian Sayin and Ohio State. The Buckeyes might have the top eight wide receivers in America. With the transfer in of Max Klare from Purdue University, Ohio State will likely have one of the best tight end rooms in the nation as well. So, Julian Sayin will have plenty of targets to which to throw footballs.
Ohio State should also have a good running game. The offensive line is ten deep, with several experienced starters. Also, Ohio State has great running backs in James Peoples, C.J. Donaldson, and freshman Bo Jackson. An X factor is true freshman Anthony ‘Turbo’ Rodgers. Look for him to be deployed like Curtis Samual was.
Conclusion
When Ohio State head football coach Ryan Day names Julian Sayin as the starting quarterback, there is no doubt he will have several weapons on the offense at his disposal. There are some concerns with Julian Sayin, most notably his height and his laid-back nature. Commentators will also question whether Ohio State can be successful with a new quarterback. He will be fine, and many teams thrive with new quarterbacks.
