QUARTERBACK: Ohio State

Signees: Julian Sayin, Will Howard

The Buckeyes targeted Kansas State transfer Will Howard early in the transfer cycle and they got their man. The No. 10 prospect in the transfer rankings is expected to start for Ohio State this fall as it tries to win a national title.

Less than a week after Howard finalized his transfer to Ohio State, Nick Saban retired as head coach of Alabama. Soon after, five-star Julian Sayin had a change of heart and decided to transfer. Sayin, the No. 1 quarterback in the transfer rankings, quickly decided Ohio State was where he wanted to go. Now the Buckeyes have the best quarterback room in the country.

Oregon made this a tough decision thanks to its transfer additions of Dante Moore and Dillon Gabriel, who both landed inside the top 15 of the transfer rankings. But Ohio State got the nod here.
