Ex-Ohio State Star Cade Stover Calls Out Michigan for Cheating – cgnews24 News
Cade Stover Michigan: Cade Stover, a former Ohio State tight end now playing for the Houston Texans, has made headlines by speaking out about Michigan’s cheating scandal. Stover’s comments come in response to the Netflix documentary “Sign Stealer,” which explores the story of Michigan’s Connor Stalions.
Stover revealed that he hasn’t watched the documentary. He stated that he already knows enough about the situation. “No, I knew enough about that (expletive) as it was,” Stover said during an interview on Thursday.
Despite not diving into the documentary, Stover shared his own suspicions from his playing days. He recalled a specific game moment from 2022 when Michigan seemed to have insider knowledge about Ohio State’s plays. “When they started yelling, ‘screen’ when you’re throwing a tight end screen,” Stover explained, “That’s when you (think), ‘What the (expletive) is this? We’ve never ran this before.’”
This incident was a red flag for Stover, indicating that Michigan might have been using unfair methods to gain an advantage. He admitted that Michigan had been dominant over Ohio State in recent years, even during his time with the team. However, Stover was careful to note that he wasn’t trying to make excuses. “I don’t have a lot of room to talk,” he said. “I didn’t do much. They beat us, so it is what it is.”
Connor Stalions, a former staff member for Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, resigned in November after being accused of buying tickets to scout future opponents. He allegedly sent individuals to record teams’ play signals in secret. This scandal has sparked controversy and scrutiny over Michigan’s practices.
Stover’s comments highlight ongoing frustrations and concerns within college football about fairness and integrity. As the story develops, it will be interesting to see how it affects the teams involved and the wider college football community.
