Ohio State's QB Race Between Sayin, Kienholz Intensifies Ahead of Spring Game

Ohio State's quarterback competition is heating up as head coach Ryan Day describes Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz as 'pretty much neck and neck' heading into the final week of spring practices. Day noted that neither quarterback has gained a significant lead, making the upcoming spring game crucial for their chances to secure the starting role. The competition is particularly intense as the Buckeyes look to replace Will Howard, who declared for the NFL Draft after leading the team to a national championship. Despite Sayin's five-star pedigree, reports indicate that Kienholz has been performing well, demonstrating poise under pressure and solid decision-making. Tavien St. Clair, the third quarterback, is currently seen as having more to learn due to his inexperience. Day expressed confidence in the competition, suggesting it may continue into preseason camp, which is typical for his tenure at Ohio State.
