Julian Sayin ranked fifth among college quarterbacks by 'The Athletic

Summary

Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin is ranked fifth in a recent poll by 'The Athletic' surveying college football personnel. Despite leading the FBS last season in completion percentage and throwing for 3,610 yards with 32 touchdowns, Sayin's ranking is seen as surprisingly low. He is included in a top tier of quarterbacks recognized for elite traits and production, but falls behind Ole Miss' Trinidad Chambliss, Oregon’s Dante Moore, Notre Dame’s CJ Carr, and Miami’s Darian Mensah. Opinions among evaluators vary significantly regarding Sayin's abilities, with some calling him underrated. With the 2026 season approaching, these rankings contribute to narratives around Heisman potential.
