Will his arm talent and Heisman finalist credentials be enough, or could his limited mobility cost him the starting role to 5-star redshirt Tavien St. Clair—an athletic dual threat waiting in the wings? Craig Shemon explores whether Sayin can level up under new coordinator Arthur Smith and become a rushing threat, or if Ohio State will pivot toward a more dynamic playmaker under center.</p> <p>Recruiting buzz sweeps the Big Ten with updates on USC’s star acquisitions, Nebraska’s pursuit of two-sport sensation Ahmad Hudson, and Michigan’s renewed efforts on the offensive line. Plus, spotlight coverage of Big Ten basketball—Izzo’s 28-year NCAA streak, Northwestern’s pursuit of stronger NIL backing, and reaction to the latest tournament brackets.
