Cade Stover reveals which ex-Ohio Sate LB he idolized growing up
Published:
Cade Stover grew up watching James Laurinaitis play for Ohio State. The former Buckeye LB was 1 of his favorite players, and now he gets to play in front of him.
Laurinaitis played LB at Ohio State from 2005-2008. He is now a defensive graduate assistant on Marcus Freeman’s staff and will be on the sidelines when Notre Dame takes on Ohio State this Saturday.
While Stover is a TE this season, he modeled his game after Laurinaitis when he came to Columbus as a DE. He referred to the longtime Ohio State LB as someone that he was supposed to be per Griffin Strom of Eleven Warriors.
“As a kid growing up, these are blue blood, you know what I mean,” said Stover. “That’s who I was supposed to be.”
