Five-star quarterbacks have frequently become second-year stars at Ohio State.
Over the past 20 years, Ohio State has had four quarterbacks who were rated as five-star recruits by at least one major recruiting service that became starters for the Buckeyes in their second year of college football. All four of them – C.J. Stroud, Justin Fields, Braxton Miller and Terrelle Pryor – became stars by the end of that season.
Julian Sayin now looks to follow in their footsteps as he enters his second year of college football as the projected frontrunner to be Ohio State’s starting quarterback in 2025.
