- Appearing in Columbus before Ohio State–Penn State, Saban said the Alabama coach who kept Sayin on the scout team for a year was "a dumbass," referring to himself.
- Saban highlighted Sayin’s precision, noting an 80% completion rate that leads the nation and praising his accuracy, arm talent, and judgment.
- Now a redshirt freshman starter for No. 1 Ohio State, Sayin has thrown for 1,872 yards with 19 touchdowns and three interceptions this season.
- Sayin was a five-star early enrollee at Alabama in 2023, spent that season on the scout team, then entered the transfer portal and moved to Ohio State after Saban retired.
- Earlier this year, Sayin said he didn’t have a relationship with Alabama’s staff and that transferring put him in “a great spot” in Columbus.
