Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Julian Sayin is expected to miss significant time after suffering an injury that head coach Ryan Day described as "gonna take some time." Day emphasized the recovery "is not gonna be next week or next month," indicating a prolonged absence for the freshman signal-caller.
Sayin, wearing jersey number 10, was seen on the sideline in a sling during the Buckeyes' game against the Indiana Hoosiers at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Indiana, on October 17, 2026. The specific nature of the injury was not disclosed, but the visible sling suggests an upper-body issue.
The injury represents a setback for Ohio State's quarterback depth as the team navigates its 2026 campaign. Sayin, a highly touted recruit, had been seeing playing time before the injury occurred.
