In the mix: Julian Sayin, Lincoln Kienholz, Tavien St. Clair
Projected starter: Sayin
The word: If there’s a player with an inside track to start, it’s Sayin given the momentum he was able to create as a five-star freshman last season behind Will Howard, Devin Brown and others. With Brown moving on to the California Golden Bears, this is Sayin’s job to lose. He transferred from Alabama last January as the Crimson Tide’s highest-rated signee in the 2024 recruiting cycle following Nick Saban’s decision to retire. Sayin rated as the No. 20 overall prospect and No. 3 quarterback when he signed with Alabama in the 2024 class and is set to be the highest-rated quarterback to start a game for the Buckeyes in the modern recruiting era (since 2000).

“When (the) guys come back in about two weeks, you gotta look different, you gotta walk different, you gotta act different, because now you’re fighting to become the starting quarterback at Ohio State,” Day said on “Rothman and Ice” of his quarterback competition earlier this month. “We have some really talented guys in that room, and, you know, looking forward to see what the competition brings.”
