Julian Sayin is quickly becoming a household name in college football. As a freshman at Ohio State, he’s not starting as quarterback this year, but his potential is undeniable, signaling a bright future ahead.
Ohio State’s head coach, Ryan Day, recently confirmed Will Howard as the starting quarterback for the season’s start, with Devin Brown as the second in line. Yet, Day also hinted at the possibility of Sayin moving up to the backup position.
When queried about Sayin’s chance at becoming the second quarterback, Day succinctly affirmed, “Yeah, for sure.”
Sayin’s arm strength and talent suggest he could be a transformative player in college football. Though not initially Alabama’s recruit, following Nick Saban’s retirement, Sayin opted for Ohio State, drawn by what he sees as superior coaching, an effective offense, and an environment conducive to his development.
Though not currently the backup quarterback, Sayin is determined to secure that role, driven by a strong work ethic and a desire for growth.
As the season progresses, it will be crucial to watch the dynamics within the team, particularly how Howard performs under pressure. Should Howard falter, opportunities could arise for Brown or Sayin.
The hope is for Howard to consistently lead this season, setting the stage for Sayin to possibly take the helm next year.
