Glover's decision to enter the transfer portal marks the second time he will change schools in his young career. The four-star recruit in the 2023 class originally signed with Northwestern out of Northmont High School (Clayton, Ohio). However, in the aftermath of a scandal that resulted in the firing of Wildcats head coach Pat Fitzgerald, Glover transferred to Ohio State before the 2023 season.
Glover did not appear in a game for Ohio State last year. As the Buckeyes navigated spring practices in preparation for 2024, defensive coordinator Jim Knowles and linebackers coach James Laurinaitis often mentioned Cody Simon, C.J. Hicks, Sonny Styles, Gabe Powers and Arvell Reese as candidates to earn snaps at the position, not Glover. With his role unlikely to increase this fall, the 6-foot-3, 215-pound linebacker has decided to take his four years of eligibility elsewhere.
Glover is the fifth Buckeye to enter the transfer portal in April, following running back Dallan Hayden, safeties Cedrick Hawkins and Ja'Had Carter and offensive lineman Enokk Vimahi. Hawkins committed to UCF on April 20, and Hayden committed to Colorado on April 22. Carter entered the portal Sunday while Vimahi entered the portal on Tuesday.
