With the season-ending injury to Taison Chatman, the Buckeyes turn to veteran Ques Glover to help fill that void.

When Taison Chatman went down with a season-ending injury in summer practice, it was clear the Buckeyes had to add another guard to help fill depth. Bruce Thornton and Meechie Johnson are the starters, with incoming freshman Juni Mobley being the only backup guard.

Enter Ques Glover.

Glover comes to Columbus as his fifth collegiate stop, but only the third school where he will actually suit up and play basketball. Glover started his career at Florida, where he averaged 4.4 points per game in 31 appearances his freshman season and 2.5 points per game in 20 contests his sophomore season.

After two seasons at Florida, Glover transferred to Samford, where he excelled as a scorer, averaging 19.2 points per game in his first season in 29 games played (28 starts). He also averaged 4.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds.

In his second season at Samford, he dealt with an injury. He averaged 14.7 points per game in 19 games, 18 of which he started. He bumped his three-point percentage up to 37.8 percent from 30.8 percent the previous season. He was named All-Southern in both of his seasons at Samford.

After his second season at Samford, he transferred to BYU, but never played there. He then transferred to Kansas State for his final season. Unfortunately, he dealt with multiple lower-body injuries that kept him out for the entire season.

He received a medical redshirt for his final season, and Ohio State became his final destination.

So far in his career, he has played 99 games and has averaged 10.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. He has shot 46.1 percent from the field, 30.6 percent from three, and 78.2 percent from the free-throw line.

Now, Glover becomes an important piece for the Buckeyes, as they needed to add a guard after Chatman’s injury, which will see the sophomore guard miss the entire season. Roddy Gayle and Dale Bonner are gone from last season, and Johnson has reentered the program.

Johnson will join two-year point guard Bruce Thornton as the starters and mainstays in the backcourt. However, with those two starting and Chatman missing the season, that left only the freshman Mobley as depth.

Glover will come in and provide help in that area, but he has not played competitive basketball since 2022-23 and comes into Columbus with little in the way of expectations since he hasn’t been put in the game for over a year.

When it comes to minutes, Thornton and Johnson will likely play the most on the team, in the 31-34 minutes a game range — possibly even more. They will also want to get Mobley on the floor as soon as possible, with his ability to shoot the ball and create his own shot, so they won’t need Glover to give them 20-25 minutes per game. In all likelihood, Glover will come in and play 12-15 minutes off the bench and give the Buckeyes a scoring boost while giving Thornton and Johnson rest.

However, there will be games he comes in and gets hot, and it will be interesting to see how far they will ride him in those games.

The Buckeyes are the odds-on favorite for a 2026 blue chip prospect.

Now less than 10 days from the first game of the season, the excitement is ramping up more and more. An Ohio State team that looks poised and ready to confirm all of the hype they’ve attracted all offseason, it feels good to know that meaningful football is so close to getting underway.

Using the next week to continue prepping and further building the confidence in this roster, the off-field aspects still remain very much a priority. The 2025 class and beyond continues to see efforts, and though this staff has missed out lately, there’s still a couple of months before the December signing period for this current cycle, and that means plenty of work is still to be done.

Only so many spots left up for grabs, you can bet the Buckeyes are going to pull out all the stops to ensure their class stays atop of the country.

Buckeyes have the lead for 2026 defensive prospect


It’s been impressive to see Larry Johnson’s work this 2025 recruiting class. An increased level of success, LJ has been able to land his top targets for one, but also restock the depth along the defensive line knowing the 2024 campaign will leave the position group with some holes to fill.

After the last couple of recruiting classes brought in fewer players up front, seeing the six guys currently committed is a major win for that side of the ball and the program in general.

Looking like he will keep the momentum going, the Buckeyes have been pegged with multiple predictions in favor of landing four-star 2026 edge rusher Zavion Griffin-Haynes, and that’s not the only North Carolina native Ohio State is seemingly after in the next cycle on the agenda.

Focusing now on fellow 2026 defensive line target, Aiden Harris, the four-star athlete is apparently thinking high on Ohio State, and has the Buckeyes on top per Chad Simmons of On3. Fortunately, the staff may have an easier time than normal recruiting Harris, considering 2025 commit Trajen Odom is a current teammate of his.

The No. 42 player nationally and the second best defensive lineman in the 2026 class per the 247Sports Composite, Harris thinking so high on the Buckeyes is proof to the efforts the defensive staff is putting in right now. Leaning heavily on the North Carolina recruiting grounds seems that it will continue to pay off.

Of course, Ohio State will want to get Harris to campus hopefully this fall to really stretch their lead, but having the inside track right now for another elite defensive lineman is all you can ask for knowing how critical the trenches are to a team’s success. A tip of the cap to Johnson and fingers crossed they get this one done as well.


Ohio State landed a commitment Weddington (NC) Trajen Odom earlier this summer and the Buckeyes are now on top for his teammate, 2026 4-star EDGE Aiden Harris.

Quick Hits

  • Much like Ohio State is going to try and do with targets who got away, the Buckeyes are also going to have to defend their own guys from being poached by other programs. A theme every recruiting cycle, the “flipping” of players or at least the effort to do so is there, and current Buckeye commits are no stranger to that notion.

Hearing from Florida regularly, current Ohio State pledge Jarquez Carter is one of multiple players to be pursued by other schools. Carter being a Florida native, it makes sense to hear the Gators are trying to open the lines of communication.

Committed since July, Carter is another defensive line prospect the Buckeyes were thrilled to add knowing his stock. While the staff is confident they’ve done enough to win out in the end, surely Larry Johnson knows you not only have to recruit those who are uncommitted, but the guys you already have locked in as well.


Although DL Jarquez Carter is committed to Ohio State, recruiting hasn't necessarily slowed down.

That's definitely the case with the nearby #Gators.

"They stay in contact with me heavy."
