Julian Sayin wasn't at Alabama long before Nick Saban retired, prompting him to transfer to Ohio State. Entering his sophomore season, Sayin has the talent to star for the Buckeyes, especially within an offense that surrounds him with high-level pass-catchers.

Ohio State opened spring practice on Monday with the first six periods open to reporters. Below are notes and observations from the Buckeyes handful of drills at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
