After losing Taison Chatman to a season-ending knee injury, Ohio State is adding veteran guard Ques Glover for the 2024-25 season.
Glover, who played 99 games in four seasons split between Florida and Samford (with a brief stop at BYU), joins the Buckeyes after a year spent at Kansas State, where he missed the entire 2023-24 season with a knee injury. A native of Knoxville, Tennessee, Glover averaged a career-high 19.2 points per game in his first year at Samford, where he was a first-team all-Southern Conference pick and a finalist for the Lou Henson Award, given out annually to the nation’s top mid-major player.
