Facing the nation’s toughest college defense every day, Tavien St. Clair’s freshman year at Ohio State was anything but ordinary. Instead of riding the bench, he took on the role of scout team quarterback—mimicking star QBs and going head-to-head with Matt Patricia’s relentless defense. That meant learning fast, thinking on his feet, and getting real reps under pressure. Coaches say this trial by fire has sharpened his decision-making and football IQ in ways no classroom could. With St. Clair set to be the Buckeyes’ backup in 2026, do you think this kind of hands-on experience is the best way to prepare a young QB for the spotlight? #Sports #Football #OhioState
