Although Texas tabbed Arch Manning as the starter back in February, the Buckeyes’ decision wasn’t nearly as easy. Both former four-star Lincoln Kienholz and former five-star Julian Sayin were competing for the gig throughout the offseason, but ultimately it was Sayin who Ryan Day announced as the starter on Monday.

Julian Sayin, a five-star recruit who originally signed with Alabama, beat out Lincoln Kienholz for Ohio State's starting QB job.
