The Ohio State football program has six tight ends on scholarship and thank goodness the stud of the group,
Cade Stover, is coming back for another season. All six tight ends arrived in Columbus as highly touted recruits,
but only Stover has lived up to his potential at moving over from linebacker.
It will be interesting to watch Gee Scott Jr. and his development continue from wide receiver to tight end,
but most expected the jump last season to be much bigger.
There is still a surprising amount of hype surrounding Joe Royer and there are murmurs that he will see more time than Scott, but only time will tell.
