4-star QB Julian Sayin sets another LSU visit
2024 Carlsbad (Calif.) quarterback Julian Sayin visited LSU over the summer and will now return this weekend for the game against New Mexico in Tiger Stadium, he said.
LSU’s staff was out in full force to sit down with the four-star prospect in June when he swung through campus.
“I had a great time,” Sayin told The Bengal Tiger. “Meeting with Coach Kelly went very well and his kind of whole message was how they are going to develop me and have the right pieces around me to win. I loved my time with Coach Sloan and sitting down to talk about how they specifically develop QBs. I really liked going over the offense with Coach Denbrock, too. It was my first time meeting him and I enjoyed our time together.
“LSU stands very high with me because of the tradition of LSU, relationship with Coach Kelly, and the talent they are able to have around me, as well as the ability to develop me.”
Quarterbacks coach Joe Sloan has recruited him for a while now and the pair continues to get closer through the process.
“Coach Sloan gives off great energy,” Sayin said. “We’ve been building our relationship for the past couple months now so it was great to get out there and see what LSU had to offer. He was also explaining the atmosphere of Death Valley. I remember him saying if you’re the best, why wouldn’t you want to be on the biggest stage?”
National powers battling for Julian Sayin
Alabama, Georgia and Texas are among the other schools who’ve offered Sayin. He doesn’t have a public favorite, but the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine pegs the Bulldogs as the slight favorite over LSU. The Bulldogs are expected to host him this fall as well.
Julian Sayin is moving closer to a decision that could come during the season. As he evaluates his options, he knows what he’s looking for.
“Great relationship with the head coach, ability to have talent around me, and rich football tradition and history.”
According to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies, Julian Sayin ranks as the No. 16 overall prospect in the nation, No. 2 signal caller and No. 1 prospect in California. On3 ranks him as the No. 47 overall prospect and No. 6 quarterback nationally.
Sayin has an On3 NIL Valuation of $129K, ranking as No. 130 overall in the On3 High School NIL football rankings. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets the standard market NIL value for high school and college-level athletes. A proprietary algorithm, the On3 NIL Valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a specific moment in time.
