Ohio State QB Julian Sayin Drawing Heisman Attention for 2025 Season
With Will Howard heading to the NFL after guiding Ohio State to a national championship, the Buckeyes are turning to a new quarterback to fill the void. Enter Julian Sayin, who is generating significant excitement as he prepares to take the reins for the 2025 season.
Sayin, who spent the 2024 season as a backup, is considered one of the top quarterback prospects in the country. His performance in limited action last year — going 5-for-12 with 84 yards and a touchdown — has only fueled optimism about his potential.
Heading into next season, Sayin’s Heisman Trophy odds are catching attention, with DraftKings listing him at +1500 and FanDuel at +1800. These odds place him seventh among all college football players, and he’s being mentioned alongside standout talents like Jeremiah Smith, the team’s wide receiver who ranks fourth in Heisman discussions.
With a strong supporting cast that includes top receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate, Sayin has the pieces around him to thrive. While he still has much to prove, the 19-year-old’s dual-threat abilities and promise make him one to watch in the coming season.
