Garrett Stover’s toughness and tackling ability were on full display in Big Walnut’s 49-7 win over Worthington Kilbourne on Friday night.
The Ohio State linebacker commit broke his thumb while making a tackle on Big Walnut’s first defensive play of the game. Even so, Stover continued to play for the rest of the first half and made plays all over the field, showcasing his athleticism as he recorded nine tackles from the safety position to help Big Walnut take a 28-0 lead into halftime.
Stover did not play in the second half due to the injury, but his one half of play was enough to see why Jim Knowles and James Laurinaitis are excited about him joining Ohio State’s linebacker unit next season.
