Julian Sayin has been appointed as Ohio State's starting quarterback for the season opener against No. 1 Texas. Coach Ryan Day recognized Sayin's consistent performance in practice, which helped him win a competitive battle against junior Lincoln Kienholz. Sayin, who transferred from Alabama, has experience in four games in the previous season. Although Kienholz demonstrated impressive skills, Sayin's recent development and capability to manage the game earned him the starting position ahead of the intense match against Texas.
Sayin appeared in four games for Ohio State in 2024, logging 27 snaps and completing 5-of-12 passes for 84 yards and a touchdown.
Coach Ryan Day noted that Sayin separated himself over the last week with his consistent play, winning a close competition against junior Lincoln Kienholz.
You're always looking for consistency and taking care of the football...you can see there's a lot of growth made.
Day stated that separating practice reps becomes more difficult with a strong opponent like Texas approaching.
