Black Stripe Alert! Ohio State freshman Garrett Stover sheds black stripe

Welcome to the Brotherhood #GoBucks

The brother of Ohio State fan favorite Cade Stover has lost his black stripe. Linebacker Garrett Stover was officially welcomed to the Brotherhood earlier on Wednesday.

While the elder Stover starred on the offensive side of the ball as a tight end and is now catching passes in the NFL with the Houston Texans, the younger Stover plays on the other side of the ball. Garrett comes to OSU as a highly touted recruit, ranked as the No. 19 linebacker in the 2024 class according to 247Sports. Stover plays fast and physical and we can only imagine is country strong just like his brother.

Stover becomes the 16th member of the freshman class to lose his black stripe this year.
