quarterbacks: A competition or is there an heir apparent?
COLUMBUS – It’s hard to remember a time when the heir apparent to a vacant starting quarterback job at Ohio State let that chance slip away.
Will Howard (2024), Kyle McCord (2023), C.J. Stroud (2021), Justin Fields (2019) and Dwayne Haskins (2018) all were preseason favorites to be the Buckeyes’ starting quarterback during spring practice for those seasons when there was no incumbent starter.
And every one of them started the opener despite Urban Meyer and later Ryan Day insisting the competition was too close to call until a few days or a few weeks before the first game
It would be no surprise to see Julian Sayin join that list of OSU quarterbacks who went from heir apparent to starter this season
