Carlsbad (Calif.) to an impressive 2-0 start this season, including a 48-14 win over defending state champion Mater Dei Catholic (Chula Vista) on Friday that was seen around the country on ESPN2.

Last week in a 30-6 win against Inglewood, Sayin was 24 of 34 for 185 yards and a touchdown.
Sayin was the MVP of the prestigious Elite 11 quarterback competition this summer and has carried the momentum into his senior year, completing 75 percent of his attempts with 323 yards and three TD passes. He is nearing 6,000 total passing yards in
his scareer with 65 passing touchdowns.
Alabama secured Sayin's commitment last November over 25 other offers, including Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Texas and USC.
