SIX OHIO STATE UPPERCLASSMEN ANNOUNCE THEIR PLANS TO PLAY IN THE COTTON BOWL VS.
MISSOURI


THE BUCKEYES WILL HAVE PLENTY OF FAMILIAR FACES IN THE FINAL GAME OF 2023.

Patrick MurphyDec 12th, 2023, 11:57 AM27


Ohio State won't play in the College Football Playoff for the second straight
season but will face Missouri in the Cotton Bowl. While opt-outs have become
commonplace for top programs that don't make the Playoff, this will not be the
case for the Buckeyes.

The Scarlet and Gray held their first player media availability on Tuesday since
the loss to Michigan at the end of the regular season. Junior wide receiver
Emeka Egbuka, cornerbacks Denzel Burke and Jordan Hancock, guard Donovan
Jackson, defensive tackle Tyleik Williams and defensive end Jack Sawyer
announced that while they have not decided on next season, all of the players
will play in the Cotton Bowl.

Each player referenced the struggles against Michigan over the last three
seasons and not winning a Big Ten or national title during their careers,
factoring into their decisions and wanting to end the year on a positive note at
least.

Ohio State's 2023 regular season may be over, but the news is just heating up
with recruiting, the transfer portal and a bowl game to come. Stay on top of the

Egbuka played in nine games during the 2023 regular season, missing three
contests due to a leg injury that he suffered against Maryland. The receiver
caught 35 passes for 452 yards and four touchdowns. He also carried the ball
five times for 25 yards. Egbuka was named third-team All-Big Ten by the
conference's coaches following the year.

In his junior season, Burke played in 10 games, missing the contests against
Penn State and Rutgers with an injury. After missing two games a year ago and
learning how to play with an injury, Burke had a bounceback 2023 season. The
corner often locked down the top opposing wide receiver, recording 19 total
tackles, nine passes defended, two tackles for a loss, one interception and one
forced fumble. Following the year, Burke was named first-team All-Big Ten by the
conference's coaches and second-team All-Big Ten by the media.

‌




Hancock came into the 2022 season with hype surrounding his name but suffered an
injury in preseason that forced him to miss all but four games on defense.
Hancock returned this year, rotating at the nickel position with Sonny Styles
and playing the third-most snaps in the secondary. Hancock recorded a
career-high 38 total tackles, five passes defended, two interceptions, two
forced fumbles and one touchdown.

Jackson was a second-year starter in 2023, starting every game for the Buckeyes
and tying for the most snaps played on the offensive side of the ball. Jackson
helped block for an offensive line that blocked for a top-40 total and scoring
offense.

Williams came into the season expecting to be part of the rotation at defensive
tackle but admitted that the season went better than he expected. Playing the
fourth-most snaps on the defense, Williams registered career highs in total
tackles (49), tackles for a loss (10), sacks (3) and passes defended (5). He
also had his first fumble recovery, which was recovered for a touchdown.

Sawyer moved from the Jack position to a true defensive end this offseason.
Playing opposite J.T. Tuimoloau, Sawyer started every game this year and had his
best season as a Buckeye. Sawyer managed 44 total tackles, seven tackles for a
loss, 3.5 sacks, two passes defended and two forced fumbles.

‌


Ohio State and Missouri will face each other at AT&T Stadium in Arlington,
Texas, on Friday, Dec. 29. The game is scheduled to kick off at 8 p.m. ET.

FRESHMAN JULIAN SAYIN READY FOR SPOTLIGHT: 'HE'S GOT A VERY BRIGHT FUTURE’


DESPITE BEING YOUNG, SAYIN HAS IMPRESSED QUICKLY AT OHIO STATE.

Patrick Murphy10 hrs24


Ryan Day had no reason to praise Julian Sayin this week. The Ohio State head
coach has often resisted the hype surrounding freshmen, not wanting players to
get ahead of themselves early on in their college careers.

But Sayin, like classmate Jeremiah Smith, isn't the same as other freshmen. The
buzz surrounding the quarterback this spring is real and has been earned.

Sayin was a five-star prospect coming out of Carlsbad, California. He was the
top-ranked quarterback and No. 6 overall player in the 2024 recruiting class,
according to the 247Sports rankings. He initially enrolled at Alabama before
transferring to Ohio State, two programs that have produced six top-15
quarterback picks in the NFL Draft since 2019.

Having already practiced with the Crimson Tide during the build up to the
College Football Playoff semifinal earlier this year, Sayin had experience with
how a top-level college program works. Because of this, he had no issue
asserting himself when he stepped on the field at the Woody Hayes Athletic
Center at the start of the Buckeyes' spring practice.

"He's been unbelievable," Day said of how Sayin has handled himself this spring.
"Just really good. I mean, he has a good plan when he gets out there. He doesn't
want to get his hand held. I've been impressed with his approach. And like I
said before, he's got a really, really bright future."

It quickly became apparent that Sayin wasn't just another highly-touted, young
quarterback for the Scarlet and Gray. Since Day became a part of Ohio State's
program in 2017, the Buckeyes have signed eight quarterbacks who have been
top-100 overall prospects in their respective recruiting classes. Only two –
Justin Fields (who played his freshman year at Georgia) and Quinn Ewers (who
transferred to Texas after one season) – rated higher than Sayin coming out of
high school.

None of those quarterbacks, nor the ones who came before Day's arrival, had
their black stripe removed – a tradition brought to Ohio State by Urban Meyer in
2012 – as quickly as Sayin, who could officially call himself a Buckeye after
nine practices.

When Ohio State quarterbacks had their black stripes removed:

Miller2020Oct. 21Kyle McCord2021Aug. 12Devin Brown2022Oct. 6Lincoln
Kienholz2023Aug. 28Julian Sayin2024April 8

"He's been in there competing and he's making plays," Day said of Sayin. "And
the guys know. And a lot of times with the black stripe, it's a lot of times the
players. They know. They see it. A guy makes a play or shows up over an extended
period of time. But nine practices in, you can see that he was making a lot of
throws and in big spots, even against the ones. And so, the play speaks for
itself. And again, usually, when you get your black stripe off, it's because
you've earned the respect of the team. And I think he's done that."

Much of the quarterback conversation this offseason has centered around
upperclassmen Will Howard and Devin Brown. Howard started during multiple
seasons at Kansas State, including winning a Big 12 title, before transferring
to the Scarlet and Gray. Brown is set to enter his third season at Ohio State
but has dealt with injuries that have limited his playing time. The expectation
heading into spring practice was that one of these two would be the Buckeyes'
starting quarterback in 2024.

Yet Sayin's arrival in late January, following Nick Saban's retirement, changed
the numbers in the quarterback room. According to Day, Sayin is a part of the
competition to start despite being a freshman.

"He's in the mix. He is," Day said. "Chip really rolls them. It doesn't matter
if the ones, twos and threes, so you get an opportunity to see what guys look
like. I think sometimes maybe when you're young, you get the three work, and
sometimes it can look a mess out there. And so, this has been a really good
sample size to figure out where guys are at. But Julian's gonna compete his tail
off and he'll continue to do that and he's got a very bright future."

Nothing has been decided through 13 spring practices regarding Ohio State's
starting quarterback. The competition will continue through Saturday's spring
game, which will allow Howard, Brown and Sayin, as well redshirt freshman
Lincoln Kienholz and true freshman Air Noland, to compete in front of a large
crowd at Ohio Stadium, and likely extend into fall camp.

Sayin has had a fast start to his college career, positioning himself to be
ready to play in his first season. But he must keep doing what made him
successful so far and continue his development.

"Just overall experience," Day said of what he needs to see from Sayin. "And
then just maturity, physically, mentally, emotionally, all those things. But
he's shown great signs. I think he's put on maybe 15 pounds since he got here.
That's great. But the overall strength and just size. And then that is a matter
of just experience. But I like his approach. I mean, I see things in him that
lead us to believe he's got a really bright future. And it's very, very
encouraging."

 If he continues down this path, the offseason praise from Day may roll over
into the season.
