Julian Sayin has a big job on his shoulders entering the 2025 season. As the starting quarterback for the Ohio State Buckeyes, he will be asked to replicate what his predecessor Will Howard did for the program last year, i.e. win the national championship.
With extra attention to him, some of it is also going on his personal life, where one will find his girlfriend Gabrielle Fowler. The couple has been together since at least Feb. 2024. Their relationship went public during Sayin’s transfer from Alabama to Ohio State.
Let’s take a look at 5 times when Sayin has expressed love for Gabrielle.
