Cade Stover needed one more stint on defense to feel comfortable continuing to play on offense, but he’s now confident tight end is the best position for his present and future.
To feel comfortable continuing to play the tight end position that he’s played for Ohio State for most of the past two seasons, Cade Stover needed one more chance to play on defense.
“100 percent,” Stover said Thursday when asked if he needed one more chance to play defense. “I had to be on my terms. I had to be at peace with it. I knew if I wasn't, then it’s always going to be ‘What if this was that? What if this was that?’ And I felt good about it.” How can Stover play the tight end position while still playing with the same mentality that he had as a defensive player?
Day and Wilson believe Stover’s defensive mentality will be a good thing for the offense as long as he plays with sound technique and fundamentals. Stover is also likely to be on the field more this season at tight end than he would have been at linebacker, as he projects as the likely starting tight end now that Jeremy Ruckert is pursuing an NFL career. And now that he’s entering his fourth season at Ohio State, Stover says the most important thing to him is having the opportunity to play regularly.
