LEXINGTON, Ohio – From the time Division I football teams began recruiting him in his sophomore year at Lexington High School in 2016, Ohio State was always at the top of Cade Stover’s list.
He didn’t want to rush through the process, or choose Ohio State simply because it was the hometown school, so he took his time. He made several visits to Ohio State – as well as to Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Penn State – before committing to the Buckeyes last April.
“I didn’t jump the gun at all and commit early,” Stover said.
