Overview

• Fall camp has yet to yield a clear starter as Ryan Day continues to compare Lincoln Kienholz’s improved athleticism with Julian Sayin’s arm talent.
• Kienholz gained 33 pounds in the offseason, earned Iron Buckeye honors and credited his basketball and baseball background for boosting his adaptability.
• Sayin’s quick release and pinpoint accuracy have kept the five-star Alabama transfer firmly in contention despite spring expectations.
• Day has emphasized command of the offense, leadership and consistency over pure arm strength in evaluating both quarterbacks.
• A starting quarterback will be announced in mid-August, with the winner set to face Texas and Arch Manning in the opener.
