Ohio State’s New Quarterback and the Future of the Buckeyes
The Ohio State Buckeyes are gearing up to defend their national title in 2025, and it appears they have found their new starting quarterback. With the departures of Will Howard, Air Noland, and Devin Brown, Julian Sayin has emerged as the front-runner to lead the Buckeyes’ offense.
Sayin, a five-star recruit, initially committed to Alabama but transferred to Ohio State after Nick Saban announced his retirement. As a backup quarterback in 2024, Sayin played in four games, completing five of 12 pass attempts for 84 yards and a touchdown. Although his experience is limited, Sayin’s talent and work ethic have impressed coaches and fans alike.
“His ceiling is as high as he wants it to be,” said Coach Kelly. “I think he’s a tremendously talented player. He’s got a great work ethic. We’re excited about him.”
As a senior at Carlsbad High School in California, Sayin threw for 2,369 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, and just one interception. His impressive high school stats and his brief but promising college experience make him an exciting prospect for the Buckeyes.
Ohio State’s quarterback room will also feature Lincoln Kienholtz and incoming freshman Tavien St. Clair. While the competition will be fierce, Sayin’s experience and talent give him an edge.
The Buckeyes’ ability to adapt and thrive despite quarterback departures is a testament to their program’s strength and depth. As they prepare to defend their national title, Ohio State fans can be optimistic about the team’s future with Sayin at the helm.
In related news, Ohio State’s recent national championship win has sparked discussions about the College Football Playoff (CFP) and its potential for excitement and unpredictability. The Buckeyes’ run to the title, which included victories over two SEC teams and the Big Ten champion, has been hailed as a testament to the hottest teams’ ability to win it all.
As the college football landscape continues to evolve, one thing is clear: Ohio State will remain a force to be reckoned with, and Julian Sayin will be a key player in their quest for another national title.
