Summary

Ohio State quarterback Sayin is highlighted as a top Heisman Trophy candidate as the 2026 season approaches. After a successful 2025 season featuring 3,610 passing yards and 32 touchdowns, Sayin looks to build on that success with a challenging schedule that includes a Week 2 matchup at Texas. His past experience at Alabama and under Will Howard at Ohio State has set the stage for his pivotal role in the Buckeyes' offensive plans. Jeremiah Smith, a key receiver, returns alongside Sayin, boosting their chances for a strong season. If Ohio State performs well, Sayin could make a return to the Heisman ceremony as a favorite.
