Will not start against Texas Kienholz will not start for the Buckeyes against Texas on Aug. 30, Spencer Holbrook of On3.com reports.
Impact During the Buckeyes' spring camp, Kienholz and Julian Sayin began competing for quarterback snaps. Just before August's second half, it was announced that the former fell behind in their positional battle. It did not take much longer for the Buckeyes to confirm Sayin as their QB1, meaning Kienholz may remain without counting stats post-2023.
