It’s a pretty easy sell for [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] and [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] when recruiting a quarterback. Just look at the recent history. When Day took over as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under [autotag]Urban Meyer[/autotag], he inherited [autotag]Joe Thomas Barrett[/autotag], who would only go on to set multiple [autotag]Big Ten[/autotag] records.
His next three quarterbacks were ([autotag]Dwayne Haskins[/autotag] (R.I.P.), [autotag]Justin Fields[/autotag] and [autotag]C.J. Stroud[/autotag]). All were or will be first-round [autotag]NFL draft[/autotag] picks.
Day has an impressive résumé when it comes to the development of the most important player on the field.
The Buckeyes are in search of a 2024 and 2025 quarterback, but that isn’t stopping them from looking for one in the 2026 class either. They offered [autotag]Julian Lewis[/autotag] a scholarship.

The Georgian already has an impressive offer list that includes Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas and now Ohio State. The 6-foot, 1-inch, 175-pound quarterback is just a freshman, but obviously has shown he has what it takes to be a high-level player.
