Kansas State grad transfer guard Ques Glover joining Buckeyes
COLUMBUS — Ohio State is adding Kansas State grad transfer Ques Glover for the 2024-25 campaign. Glover joins the Buckeyes after redshirting last season, his lone season with the Wildcats. Before that, he starred for two years at Samford. He spent the first two seasons of his college career at Florida.
Glover also made a pit stop at BYU last offseason before re-opening his commitment and finding a new, albeit brief, home at Kansas State.
The 6-foot, 185-pound, veteran guard, who hails from Knoxville, Tennessee, is a journeyman. His final post will be at Ohio State, where he’ll team up with first-year head coach Jake Diebler.
Glover fills a need for the Buckeyes, who lost second-year guard Taison Chatman for the season earlier this summer. Chatman tore his ACL, leaving Ohio State with just three pure scholarship guards: returning two-time captain Bruce Thornton, South Carolina transfer Meechie Johnson Jr. and freshman Juni Mobley.
Glover has played in 99 games over the course of his college carousel, making a combined 46 starts at Florida and Samford. He’s a 1,000-point scorer on 46% shooting for his career with 21 games of 20-plus points under his belt.
His volume scoring came at Samford, where he notched a career high of 30 points versus The Citadel and tallied a 20-point, 10-assist double-double against VMI, both during the 2021-22 season.
Glover ranked third in the Southern Conference in scoring that year with 19.2 points per game while placing second in the league in total assists (129) and assists per game (4.4). He posted a 46.8% clip from the field and was a consensus first-team All-SoCon selection. What’s more, Glover was a finalist for the Lou Henson Award, which goes to the top mid-major player annually.

In two seasons at Florida, however, Glover averaged only 3.6 points per game on 42.1% shooting. He was part of a Gators team that reached the 2021 NCAA Tournament, though.
Glover received 20 Division I scholarship offers out of Bearden High School, which he helped win its first-ever Class AAA state title as a senior in 2019.
Glover’s coming off a season-ending knee injury that kept him off the court last year. Now he’s with another power conference team looking for a strong finish to a winding career.
He’s a late addition but an important one considering Ohio State’s need in the backcourt. Glover lost the 2023-24 season because of injury. Now an injury to someone else is giving him a new opportunity in 2024-25.
