All of those skills allowed Stover to begin building a case for an early exit from Ohio State to the NFL. Draft scouts were impressed by his early-season rise, both as a pass-catcher and blocker. But injuries began to slow Stover down during the second half of the year, and he left the Peach Bowl semifinal due to injury, as well.
But that wasn’t the final on-field moment of Cade Stover’s career at Ohio State.
He is coming back for another season and another shot at a national title.
