Ohio’s top-rated player, quarterback Tavien St. Clair, signed with Ohio State on Wednesday, giving the Buckeyes a QB room littered with five-star prospects in a loaded 2025 class.
St. Clair is from Bellefontaine, about an hour west of Columbus, and committed to Ohio State on June 21, 2023. Locked in on his home-state school, the only official visit he took was to Columbus.
With Will Howard out of eligibility after this season, the quarterback job at Ohio State is wide open. St. Clair, ranked the No. 3 quarterback in the nation and No. 7 overall player by the 247Sports composite, brings the pedigree for the position.
But so do Julian Sayin and Air Noland, both five-star prospects in the 2024 class who wound up at Ohio State. Sayin committed to Alabama, enrolled there in January, then entered the NCAA transfer portal just nine days later. Noland was ranked the No. 7 QB in the class with Sayin No. 3.
Both players took redshirts this season, though Sayin did appear in three games, completing 5 of 11 pass attempts for 84 yards and a touchdown.
It is widely believed that Sayin has the inside track on the starting job in 2025 and that Noland could enter the transfer portal with four years of eligibility remaining.
Five-star Devin Sanchez, a cornerback from North Shore High School in Houston, also was one of 15 players to sign with the Buckeyes as of early Wednesday. He is the No. 1-rated cornerback and No. 6 overall player in the class, per the 247Sports composite.
