Julian Sayin named Ohio State's starting quarterback for season opener against Texas
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Julian Sayin will be Ohio State's starting quarterback when the No. 3 Buckeyes open the season against top-ranked Texas on Aug. 30, coach Ryan Day announced Monday. Day, who is in his seventh year leading the Buckeyes, said Sayin was more consistent in the competition with Lincoln Kienholz but there was some separation over the past week. "It was a close competition. I think both guys we all feel confident can win a game for us. I feel like our guys are confident with both quarterbacks, I feel like we are going to need both quarterbacks,' Day said. 'Lincoln did a lot of great things, but we're going to name Julian the starter, give him the majority of the reps with the ones and go prepare to beat Texas.' Sayin is listed as a sophomore but has four years of eligibility remaining. He originally committed to Alabama as the top-rated quarterback in the Class of 2024 and was taking classes when Nick Saban retired. Sayin then entered the transfer portal last spring and came to Ohio State. He played in four games last season, including the College Football Playoff first-round game against Tennessee, and he was 5 for 12 for 84 yards and one touchdown while taking 27 snaps. 'I think earning trust is just all about consistency, who are you day in and day out, and are you making the routine plays routinely. Are you someone who the offense can count on and who your teammates can count on consistently?' Sayin said on Aug. 5 about his approach. Offensive coordinator Brian Hartline also pointed out Sayin's consistency, along with limited turnovers and emergence as a leader, in his body of work. 'The command and earning the respect of your peers. Ultimately, the locker room always knows,' Hartline said. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian tried to recruit Sayin and said after Monday's announcement that he had a ton of respect for him. 'We recruited him hard here. He was a very gifted passer, really good player. Came to camp with us, I think, two years in a row. So we got a lot of familiarity with him," Sarkisian said. "Very good player, elite passer, very good arm talent, very quick release, really accurate guy. Obviously, he's got great weapons around him, so he's the type of guy that can utilize those weapons in a good system. So, it poses a heck of a challenge.' Sayin won't be the most-hyped quarterback in the opener. That goes to Texas' Arch Manning, who is considered an early Heisman Trophy contender. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here. AP college football: and

Matthew Stafford practices with Rams in QB's first team workout of preseason
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Matthew Stafford practiced with the Los Angeles Rams on Monday, marking the quarterback's first workout with the team this preseason after having been unable to do so because of a sore back. Stafford, 37, took first-team reps during the session and did not speak to reporters afterward. Coach Sean McVay said it was too soon to know what the session means for Stafford's status going forward. 'I think that would be putting the cart way before the horse,' McVay said. 'I thought he did a good job today, and we had 26 plays of team (with Stafford), and (he) did a really nice job of managing the huddle. I thought he saw the field well. I thought he went where the balls would go, and there's some good competitive work on both sides today.' McVay has repeatedly declined to put any timeline on Stafford's availability, doing so again on Monday, after having initially said in July his starting quarterback would miss the first part of training camp. The Rams open the regular season on Sept. 7 by hosting the Houston Texans. 'I'm not going to pigeonhole myself into any plans,' McVay said. 'And so we're just really seeing how he feels. We're really taking it a day at a time and a week at a time right now.' While McVay said he was treating Monday's practice as another day, teammates were visibly excited to have the veteran going into his 17th season on the field. Stafford has led the team into the playoffs in three of his four seasons in Los Angeles, including winning the Super Bowl in the 2021 season. 'I think this group brings energy every day. I think that certainly was something that guys felt good about. Like, what I want to make sure is, let's just take it a day at a time. This represents a great opportunity that he wanted to be out there and do what he did today, and then we'll see what tomorrow really takes.' ___ AP NFL:

Will Campbell's progress along offensive line continues to excite Patriots
There is a lot riding on the shoulders of Patriots rookie left tackle Will Campbell, who is being thrown right into the flames in his first NFL season. But Campbell knew there was a lot of hard work ahead after New England drafted him fourth overall in April, and didn't want it any other way this summer. "I'm feeling good," Campbell said after Monday's practice in Foxboro. "This is probably the best I've felt in a long time." It's been an up and down summer for Campbell with plenty of rookie growing pains in camp. But when he gets beat one play, he usually comes back and wins the next snap. If there was something he didn't do well on Monday, he's be much better at it come Tuesday. So far, Campbell is pleased with how he's handled the NFL's vast learning curve. But that doesn't mean Campbell is anywhere near satisfied with his work on the field. With opposing defenses gunning for Drake Maye or whoever is carrying the ball for New England each and every snap, Campbell can't afford to think his game is "good enough" at any point in 2025. "I'm a rookie, so there is a lot of stuff I'm trying to work on to become better, to become the kind of player I want to become," said Campbell. "It's not one thing, it's everything. There is a big curve from college football to the NFL. I'm trying to get better every day. "I try to take a step forward every day and not take a step backward in any way, shape, or form," Campbell added. There have been a few steps back this summer, but then Campbell has displayed his ability to bounce back. The 21-year-old had a tough time matching up with Vikings Pro Bowl edge rusher Jonathan Greenard during last week's joint practices in Minnesota, which led to a lot of pressure in Maye's face during the sessions. But those practice struggles should only make Campbell stronger in the long run. "Any time in practice when you get to go against a guy from a different team -- that is a double-digit sack guy in the NFL -- as a rookie, it does nothing but good things for you," said Campbell. "I never take anything like that for granted." And when Campbell took the field for Saturday's Patriots-Vikings preseason clash, the left tackle and the rest of the offensive line controlled the line of scrimmage for its two series of action. Rookie TreVeyon Henderson capped off the starting offense's second possession with an 11-yard touchdown run, which saw Campbell help open a huge hole for the running back to attack before he bounced off a few Minnesota defenders. Campbell didn't allow a sack or any QB pressures in his 17 snaps against Minnesota, though he played against Vikings second-teamers. But he took his schooling during the joint sessions and applied it in Saturday's game, which led to good things for the Patriots' offense. Campbell hasn't allowed a sack in his four preseason series so far. On Monday, head coach Mike Vrabel didn't want to pump up the rookie left tackle too much, saying he did "fine" when asked about Campbell's performance on Saturday. Patriots vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf had a lot more to say about Campbell, and added the team is pleased with his progress so far this summer. "Will's been solid. He's getting better every day. I thought Greenard got him a couple of times in that second practice against Minnesota, and Greenard is a really good player, so I think that was a really good learning experience for Will to kind of understand in pass sets that he can't try the same thing each time," said Wolf. "We're excited about what he can do. Play style is phenomenal and he's only getting better." In a few short weeks, Campbell will have to take everything he learned during training camp and the preseason and put it to work in his first-ever NFL game against Maxx Crosby and the talented pass rush of the Las Vegas Raiders. Campbell isn't the only rookie the Patriots are hoping makes an instant impact along the offensive line. Third-round pick Jared Wilson was back alongside Campbell on Monday, lining up a left guard for New England. Ben Brown had taken over at left guard last week during the joint sessions, and Wilson revealed Monday he was dealing with an ankle injury during the team's trip to Minnesota. "I just had a little tweak in my ankle. It's fine now. Everybody rolls their ankle, especially as an offensive linemen," said Wilson. "Just do what you need to do and get back on the field." Wilson has been getting looks at both center and left guard in camp, and doesn't mind moving around the offensive line. He just wants to win, and will play wherever coaches tell him. Wilson got to play some center on Saturday, and he said it was fun to be back to making calls at the line. But he said playing left guard is just as fun. It's rare for an NFL team to start two rookies on the left side of its offensive line, but Campbell and Wilson will likely find themselves protecting Maye's blind side come Sept. 7 against the Raiders. "It's been great growing every day together," Campbell said of working with Wilson on the left side. "It's only going to continue to get better. We'll keep working at that and put our best foot forward." Neither player minds all the pressure being placed upon them heading into their rookie year. "Pressure is privilege," said Wilson. "If you don't have any pressure in your life, you're never going to grow, never going to get better as a man, if you're a father and a husband. Pressure is what you want in life." Campbell and Wilson are both raw and will have plenty of rookie moments during the 2025 season. But both have shown their ability to bounce back and learn, and the Patriots already appear to have loads of trust in the two first-year players to handle important roles on the offensive line.
