Cade Stover embracing potential at tight end for Ohio State
Kevin Wilson joked that he used to be banned from recruiting Cade Stover because he would fall in love with his potential at tight end.
At the time, Ohio State viewed Stover as a better fit at linebacker or maybe defensive end. But in the end, Wilson got his wish without even really trying, eventually watching the Buckeyes swap Cormontae Hamilton over to the defensive line and getting Stover back to throw around a few tough blocks and potentially become a weapon in the passing attack.
“I think in the long run, it’s a better fit for my body,” Stover said. “Coach Day brought me in and we had an open conversation about it and what’s best, and I’m just looking to get on the field this year anywhere I can.
“It felt really good to get the football again, felt a lot more natural.”
