Kalen DeBoer's QB gamble under scrutiny following Julian Sayin being named Ohio State's starter

One of the first big roster decisions made by Kalen DeBoer when he arrived in Tuscaloosa to replace Nick Saban was to bring along his young, developmental QB. Austin Mack transferred to Alabama on January 18th, just six days after DeBoer was officially named as the head coach of the Crimson Tide. One day later, highly touted 5-star freshman Julian Sayin entered the Transfer Portal, ultimately finding his way to Columbus.
