The Ohio State football team will be led by Julian Sayin as the starting quarterback this year. Ryan Day made the announcement on Monday morning, choosing Sayin over Lincoln Kienholz for the starting job. Now, Kienholz will be a backup quarterback once again.

Sayin is now set up to be the starting quarterback for the next couple of years. Behind him, Tavien St. Clair, the number-two overall recruit in the 2025 recruiting class, and incoming freshman Brady Edmunds await. Kienholz is suddenly looking like the odd man out in the quarterback room.

Kienholz was a member of the 2023 recruiting class.
