Julian Sayin adds weight to improve performance as Ohio State QB

Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin begins preseason camp at 215 pounds, up from 208 last season. Sayin emphasized his focus on improving as a runner, following a disappointing rushing performance in 2025. Under the guidance of strength coach Mickey Marotti, he worked on building strength, which he believes enhances both his running and passing efficiency. Sayin's accuracy saw a dip in the red zone last season, highlighting the need for improved precision in tighter spaces. His progress is showcased in practices as he delivers strong throws in the red zone.
