The Buckeyes’ quarterback competition is just getting started — and the race is wide open. Julian Sayin, Lincoln Kienholz, and Tavien St. Clair are all battling for the starting job, but this spring isn’t just about stats — it’s about leadership, mental toughness, and who can handle the pressure of being QB1 at Ohio State.

In this breakdown:

Julian Sayin shines in the spring game, shows growth and resilience

Lincoln Kienholz steps into a leadership role as the most experienced QB

Tavien St. Clair flashes a high ceiling despite freshman growing pains

Why mental discipline and “toughness without contact” are key in this race

Coach Billy Fessler & Ryan Day share insights on what they’re really looking for
