Garrett Stover brings speed, toughness, and upside to Ohio State’s linebacker room
In the 2025 season, Garrett Stover was a depth linebacker and special teams contributor for Ohio State, appearing in 13 games and finishing with five total tackles, while earning praise for his work ethic as an Iron Buckeye. His best differentiators are athleticism, short-area quickness, and hit power, which helped make him a highly regarded recruit and a potential future force in the middle of the defense. He is still learning the position and has not yet produced starter-level stats, but his growth, toughness, and versatility make him a strong fit for teams valuing development and special teams impact.
