After Julian Sayin suffered a right-arm injury in Ohio State’s narrow 19-15 win over Indiana, Day appears ready to hand the offense to Luke Fahey. But Meyer isn’t convinced. With former five-star recruit Tavien St. Clair sitting behind Fahey on the depth chart, the former Buckeyes coach is publicly questioning why one of Ohio State’s most highly rated quarterback recruits isn’t getting his shot.Speaking on his weekly show, The Triple Option, Meyer questioned why the highly rated sophomore quarterback wasn’t getting the opportunity. Meyer openly expressed confusion over the coaching staff’s decision.“It’s perplexing why he (Tavien St. Clair) is not the quarterback,” Meyer said.He also stressed the importance of using practice time to prepare the next quarterback, especially with Ohio State facing a difficult stretch of its schedule.Urban Meyer’s public criticism signals deeper questions about Ohio State’s quarterback direction.

St. Clair also appeared in one game during the 2025 season.Still, it has been quite surprising for some Buckeye fans that Ryan Day has favored a less-heralded freshman over a local five-star prodigy like St. Clair.Fahey, standing at 5-foot-11, was a less celebrated prospect than St. Clair, although Ohio State’s official biography identifies him as a four-star recruit. Meanwhile, St. Clair was a top-10 national recruit in the 2025 class and the third-highest-rated quarterback in the modern recruiting rankings era to join Ohio State.It’s a bold decision for a head coach to favor a freshman who arrived in 2026 over someone who has already spent an additional season learning the system and playbook!However, ac
