#Cade Stover

If Ohio State felt it needed any of the top quarterbacks sitting in the transfer portal, wouldn't he already be in Columbus? The Buckeyes will be any quarterback's dream next season. As they have been in every season of Ryan Day's tenure. The combination of Marvin Harrison Jr., Emeka Egbuka and Cade Stover sells itself. There may not be a better…

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Cade Stover needed a physical break by the end of the season as much or more than any other Ohio State football player still able to walk onto the field.
