Cade Stover Summary:

The Positives

• Great Hands
• High end blocker who is not afraid of contact (being a former LB shows)
• Pretty good athleticism
• YAC Potential
• Runs decent routes
• Played in a lot of different alignments

The Negatives

• On the older side especially for a rookie TE
• Fought through injuries
• Could do with learning more diverse route tree

Stover is likely the second most pro ready tight end in this class behind All-World prospects, Brock Bowers. Stover is the perfect modern day tight end with athleticism to beat a linebacker, size to beat secondaries, and the willingness and skill of a blocker to keep him on the field every down. Stover is on the older side especially for a tight end (a trend that will likely be more common due to NIL) and has had some injuries, but he is a high level blocker with a lot of upside a la Trey McBride.
