Julian Sayin does what no one sees coming, a transfer breaks a record, and another bold prediction for Ohio State’s 2025 season

Few quarterbacks have come through Columbus with Sayin’s pure arm talent. If he can limit bad decisions and avoid turnovers, he’s going to be in the Heisman conversation by year’s end. His teammate Jeremiah Smith might be, too.

Max Klare breaks the tight end receiving record at Ohio State

The single-season receiving yards record for an Ohio State tight end was set back in 1983, when John Frank posted 641 yards. I expect Max Klare, the star tight end transfer from Purdue, to break that mark. He put up 685 yards in a struggling Purdue offense last year, and now steps into a far more dynamic attack.

Yes, there are more mouths to feed in Columbus, but Ohio State hasn’t had a true first-round talent at tight end in decades. With Klare, that’s exactly what they have.

Carnell Tate tops 1,000 yards and locks himself into first-round talk

Brian Hartline continues to develop wide receivers into NFL stars like no other coach in college football. That pipeline has become central to Ohio State’s recruiting pitch—and for good reason. Next in line is Carnell Tate.

The true junior is coming off a strong sophomore season with 733 yards and four touchdowns. With Emeka Egbuka off to the NFL, Tate slides into the No. 2 role after serving as the third option last year. The Chicago native should take another big leap and establish himself as an early draft pick next spring.
