The Ohio State football team is in the midst of its annual spring practice and with it, there are quite a few observations and nuggets to take away each time the media gets an opportunity to get a peek behind the curtain at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
One of those came this week and stood out like a blistered and bruised thumb when Cade Stover began to get reps with the tight ends Tuesday.
Just so you are aware why this is big news if you haven’t followed his career path, Stover was moved from tight end to linebacker for the Rose Bowl to plug in some talent and depth at a position that lacked both. At the time, it looked like a move that would stick. Stover was impactful in the victory over Utah out in Pasadena and was recruited as a linebacker out of high school.
