Julian Sayin (Ohio State): The Big Ten’s Premier College Football Quarterback Facing The Arm Talent Question

Sayin’s quick processing and elite accuracy, highlighted by his nation-leading 77% completion percentage, make him a frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy. He does an excellent job at diagnosing plays and gets the ball out immediately whenever under pressure.
Sayin is incredibly accurate and has another season to get better. With playmakers like Jeremiah Smith and Brandon Inniss returning, Sayin is positioned to dominate the Big Ten once again. The only real issue with the Buckeye quarterback is that his arm strength is a little below average. When he has to drive the ball downfield into tight coverage, his passes sometimes float or lack the zip required to beat a recovering defender. Sayin has to work on his lower-body hip torque in order to generate more velocity out of his throws and prevent defenders from making plays on the ball when he locates his target late in his drop.
