Julian Sayin was named the starting quarterback for the Ohio State Buckeyes .
Sayin is a former five-star prospect, who signed with the Crimson Tide as a member of the 2024 recruiting class. He departed from the program before playing in a game after Nick Saban retired.
He joins what appears to be a growing list of former Alabama quarterbacks set to start for a different team in 2025. Dylan Lonergan was recently named the starting quarterback for Boston College and Eli Holstein is returning as Pitt’s starting quarterback.
