“I see things in him that lead us to believe he’s got a really bright future. And it’s very, very encouraging.” Ryan Day, the Ohio State head coach, said, praising the potential of OSU QB, Julian Sayin. Sayin was the top-ranked quarterback in the 2024 recruiting class. Currently, the media is abuzz with news about the five-star prospect’s romantic involvement. 

On Tuesday, the Ohio State Buckeyes QB turned 19, and his girlfriend marked the occasion by sharing pictures of them on IG story with a heartfelt caption, “Happy 19th birthday to my other half, I love you,“. The loving couple could be seen enjoying and embracing each other’s company in those pictures. Now, you must be curious to find out who this lucky girl is. Let’s have a look. 

Meet Julian Sayin’s girlfriend 

During the CFB off-season, Julian and his girlfriend, Gabrielle Fowler, traveled to the Torrey Pines Hiking Trails with their friends. The couple shared pictures on social media of enjoying a prom date with twining outfits. It seems like they are made for each other. Additionally, Gabrielle has a sports background as she made a collegiate debut in softball in February 2024, where she got the start at Gardner-Webb. She was born on March 15, 2005, and is the daughter of Crystal and Keith Absher. Presently, the couple has a strong connection, but only time will reveal what lies ahead.

On the other hand, Julian is fighting to get a starting quarterback job at OSU after transferring from Alabama. However, Sayin’s journey might not be smooth as presently, Will Howard is the QB1 of the team. But hard work and dedication can bring everything to the five-star recruit. Let me tell you that from where the journey started for the OSU QB. 

Julian’s football journey with Ohio State Buckeyes

Born in Carlsbad, CA, Sayin attended Carlsbad High School with his older brother, Aidan, who was the starting quarterback at Lancers. After the high school journey, Sayin played for Alabama during his junior season and, as a junior, he passed for 2,708 yards as well as 27 touchdowns. On January 21, 2024, Julian announced his commitment to OSU and recruit as a second-best quarterback prospect in the 2024 class. Basically, after the retirement of seven-time National Champion Nick Saban, Sayin took the decision to move to Ohio State even after signing the letter of intent with Alabama. Moreover, the five-star athlete said to ESPN’s reporter, Pete Thamel, “Incredibly excited to join the team here at Ohio State“. Hence, it can be expected that the QB will put all his effort into bringing more success to the OSU.
