Julian Sayin is being handed the keys to a Ferrari and is asked kindly not to race it off a cliff.
Not that Sayin can’t emerge as one of the nation’s best drivers, but the talent stockpiled by Ohio State at wide receiver and tight end, combined with the experience of its offensive line, gives him the weapons needed to storm any Bastille. The running back position isn’t likely to be as loaded as TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins made it in 2024, but it could still be plenty fearsome.
A few questions remain, particularly with first-time play-caller Brian Hartline and a right tackle competition that dragged late into preseason camp.
