Ohio State football faces roster shifts and quarterback evaluation

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day is navigating roster complexities and evaluating quarterback Julian Sayin’s future. Sayin, who recorded 3,610 passing yards and 32 touchdowns during a 12-2 season, faces divided opinions from NFL scouts. While some view him as a first-round talent due to his 77% completion rate, others express concerns regarding his physical tools and performance consistency against high-level opponents.

Separately, Day addressed the evolving landscape of college football eligibility following reports that tight end Dae'Quan Wright may suit up for LSU in 2026 despite having signed with an NFL team. Day described the situation as “frustrating” given the proximity to the regular season, noting that while he prefers roster stability, he must adapt to maintain competitiveness for the Buckeyes.
