COLUMBUS — Julian Sayin has been to New York City before, but the Ohio State quarterback’s previous experiences were nothing like the one he’s gearing up for this weekend.

“My parents are from the East Coast, so they’ve gone a couple times and I went back,” said the Carlsbad, California, native who will join Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love and Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia in the Big Apple this weekend as Heisman Trophy finalists.

“I think I went around Christmas time actually when I was 12, and we just went around the city and did whatever it was,” Sayin said. “We didn’t go on a tour or anything.”

Sayin may not win college football’s most coveted trophy after Mendoza led the Hoosiers to an upset win over the Buckeyes in the Big Ten Championship
