Buckeyes QB Lands on Another Watch List For 2026 CFB Season

Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin has been named to the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award Watch List for the 2026 college football season. The honor is reserved for the nation’s top upperclassman quarterback, factoring in leadership, character, integrity, citizenship, and athletic achievement, with off-field behavior playing a heavy role alongside on-field production. Sayin’s profile already includes big numbers from his first season, when he threw for 300+ yards three times, averaged 77% completion, and finished with 32 touchdowns. The key question going into 2026 is his performance level in tougher games, as Ohio State targets a College Football Playoff run.
