C.J. Stroud is a semifinalist for the Davey O'Brien Award and a finalist for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm, while Cade Stover is a semifinalist for the John Mackey Award.
The fourth-year Buckeye accompanies players like Georgia's Brock Bowers and Darnell Washington, Purdue's Payne Durham, Utah's Dalton Kincaid, Iowa's Sam LaPorta, Notre Dame's Michael Mayers and Texas' Ja'Tavion Sanders as semifinalists for the award.
Stover's emergence has made him a legitimate receiving threat in the passing game, in addition to his stellar blocking in the running game. He is currently third on the team with 29 catches and fourth with 366 yards and five touchdowns and is only 10 receptions away from entering the top five for all-time catches for a tight end in program history.
Against Wisconsin and Indiana, Stover hauled in two touchdown catches in each game. In the Buckeyes' matchup with Penn State, he scored on a 24-yard catch and run that resulted in several broken tackles from Nittany Lion defenders as he trucked his way into the end zone. All three performances proved why Stover is considered one of the best in the nation at his position.
Three finalists will be tabbed for the Davey O'Brien Award on Nov. 29, and the winner will be selected at The Home Depot College Football Awards show on Dec. 8. The recipient of the John Mackey Award will also be chosen on the same date. The Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award winner will be honored the day before on Dec. 7.
