The unstoppable rise of a freshman phenom

Julian Sayin’s journey to this point has been one of patience, hard work, and undeniable talent. Coming out of high school as one of the top quarterback recruits in the nation, expectations were sky-high. Yet few could have predicted how quickly he would adapt to the intensity of Big Ten football.

With Ohio State’s demanding playbook and national spotlight, most freshmen struggle to find rhythm. Sayin, however, has thrived. Over his last five starts, he’s thrown for more than 1,500 yards, recorded 15 touchdown passes, and maintained a completion rate of over 70% — numbers that not only dazzle statisticians but also place him squarely in the middle of the Heisman conversation.
