Tavien St. Clair is standing in the background of Ohio State’s quarterback room.
Well, perhaps the word background is the wrong descriptor. He’s on the horizon, a hazy figure in the distance. His chance will come. That’s all but guaranteed as a five-star prospect with elite physical tools, a sharp mind and a deep appreciation for all things Buckeye as a native Ohioan.
So while Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz duel to be Ohio State’s next starting quarterback, St. Clair is comfortable sitting behind them and soaking up all the lessons he can. He’s playing out his own position competition, just internally.
