Ohio State’s quarterback depth took an unexpected turn this season when freshman Luke Fahey emerged as the surprise starter for the Buckeyes. The 5-foot-11 signal-caller, a three-star recruit from Mission Viejo, California, had been overshadowed by sophomore Tavien St.
Clair—a former five-star prospect and the No. 3 quarterback in the 2025 class—before stepping in during a season-opening win over Ball State.
Fahey’s role expanded after Heisman finalist Julian Sayin suffered a serious arm injury in a high-stakes loss to Indiana, forcing Ohio State to rely on its backups. With Sayin sidelined indefinitely, Fahey has now taken over as the primary starter for the No.
2-ranked Buckeyes in their upcoming matchup against USC, a role he’s earned through recent practice reps and coach Ryan Day’s decision to prioritize game-ready performance over prospect rankings. The shift underscores the Buckeyes’ resilience, as Fahey—who had been largely overlooked—now carries the offense’s burden in a critical Pac-12 showdown.
