Julian Sayin, the top quarterback in the 2024 signing class hailing from Carlsbad, California, made waves in his recruitment journey that culminated in the choice for Alabama. He was an early enrollee and a significant asset with a five-star prospect rating and held the No.3 position as a quarterback in the class according to 247Sports.

With Sayin’s impressive stature and skillset in the game, he is sure to have a multitude of options. Regardless of where he chooses to take his talent, Julian Sayin’s name remains a prominent one to watch for in the 2024 college football season.
