Stover in coverage. At almost 200lbs as a junior, I don't know how he doesn't outgrow that position, and I can easily see him at OLB, and depending on his growth, possibly becoming a LEO/Jack.

A revelation just a bit less unexpected than Paul's on the road to Damascus.

“Overall it was frickin’ awesome,” Stover said of his experience. “Probably the best game I’ve ever experienced at the Shoe. It was really good and was good to see the new defense and everything. It was exciting to watch them play, I think they flew around and played hard and were physical. I think the whole team has so much energy and that’s what I really like. Just from watching it, the whole atmosphere was amazing and the fanbase was incredible.”

On his visit, Stover talked with Ryan Day both before and after Ohio State’s 21-10 win over Notre Dame.

“Before the game, the biggest thing that impressed me was you just don’t see too many head coaches want to talk to you 15 minutes before the game. I just think that says a lot about the person that Day is and you want that as a coach. He just told me to imagine myself playing there and running out of this tunnel one day.

“Afterward, he was excited about the win and thanked us for coming. He said whenever I want to be a Buckeye, to let him know and everything. He also asked us about how the visit went, it was really good to talk to him.”

Stover also spoke with defensive coordinator Jim Knowles while on his visit.

“I talked to him after the game in the locker room,” he said. “He just said it was great seeing me there and everything. Myself and two other linebackers were standing right there and he was telling us this could be a good trio in action and I thought that was really cool. I was texting with him (Thursday) and he said good luck at my game and told me a big reason why they want me is not only how I can play, but my character and how I handle myself.”

2024 FOUR-STAR OHIO STATE SAFETY/LINEBACKER TARGET GARRETT STOVER COULD MAKE A COMMITMENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE


OSU has two home games remaining, Nov. 12 against Indiana and Nov. 26 against Michigan, and Stover is considering attending both of them. Against the Hawkeyes, Stover saw the OSU defense turn in arguably its best performance of the year with six turnovers and only three points allowed.

“I just think it’s what they do and obviously coach Jim Knowles from what I’ve seen is doing a good job of keeping that defense in the best position to make plays,” Stover said. “They’re fun to watch and I love their energy. I love the excitement they get when one guy makes a play and everybody is on them congratulating them. It’s just something you want to be a part of.”

I'll be able to give some feedback on Garrett when I watch him and his big walnut eagles take on Watkins Memorial Friday night in 2nd round of the Ohio div 2 playoffs.

Stover physically looks the part of an athletic safety/lb. Made a few plays on defense. 5+ tackles including a sack. Good instincts. He reminded me of Steele chambers just a little. Def would love to see him end up in CBus.

And the fact that he's a Stover tells me all I need to know, I get the sense all the Stovers are a tough bunch (I know a cousin, but the point stands). Thanks for giving us the in-person review.
