Keeping an Eye on the Buckeye QBs

It is certainly worth keeping an eye on what is going on in fall camp in Columbus.

The expectation entering fall camp is QB1 is Julian Sayin, though I have heard over the summer that the competition is a little closer than folks in Columbus might have envisioned. 

Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day told reporters in Columbus after day one of fall camp his QB situation will be watched closely over the course of the next week: "We're just getting moving around, so hard to tell. I do think all three of them look a little bit stronger, a little bit more explosive, moving better. A little bit more command of the huddle. But we'll watch the film and kind of go from there. Day 1 without pads is kind of hard. We'll have a better feel -- give me four or five days and get a better idea."

 

Career Stats

• Julian Sayin: 5/12 passing, 84 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT

Sayin has a career long of 55 yards which came against Western Michigan in a 56–0 victory last fall.

• Lincoln Kienholz: 10/22 passing, 111 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT

The majority of tape we have seen on Kienholz came in a disastrous Cotton Bowl appearance against Missouri in 2023. Kienholz, who was thrust into action, completed six of 17 attempts and had six rush attempts for two yards.

• Tavien St. Clair: true freshman

St. Clair was the No. 1 quarterback in the country per 247Sports and the No. 4 player overall in the class of 2025.

Great information thanks ! I’ve been believing it was going to be Sayin but it appears there is a competition going on at QB1 for Ohio St. It could be a true competition or Day could be messing with PK . You know we are preparing for Ohio State now .

Sark said they will start that tOSU prep two weeks out from game day. But you’re right, I bet this whole summer has been filled with pieces specifically for the Buckeyes.

Day did this last year with Howard and Devin Brown. He’s since said that he pretty much knew all along. Bill Kurelic has said on their 247 board that the same vibe is there for Sayin with the team. I assume he’s the guy.

I love how sark doesn’t tell the team he is doing that though

I agree. Plant the seeds early without knowing what it’s for so it becomes second nature immediately.

Looks like bait for Ant Hill and Simmons.
