Take note, Jayden Maiava: Julian Sayin rated best Big Ten QB

Julian Sayin's 2025 season placed him at the top of the Big Ten quarterback rankings... but what about 2026 and his duel vs Jayden Maiava?

The debate over the best Big Ten quarterback continues, with Ohio State's Julian Sayin being rated as the top choice. After a strong season last year, Sayin had the opportunity to showcase his abilities further. However, his performance may be somewhat inflated due to the talent surrounding him. His teammate, wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, is considered one of the best pound-for-pound players in the nation.

Sayin's stats are also potentially being boosted by Florida Atlantic's Dante Moore, who was drafted as the 4th overall pick last year. Despite these factors, Sayin is still expected to have another successful season under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith at Ohio State. However, another USC quarterback, Jayden Maiava, will certainly be a formidable contender for the Big Ten's best quarterback title.
