Playing linebacker means being the quarterback of the defense. Relaying calls from the sidelines, getting the defense on the same page pre-snap, and being in the right place to make plays all are major elements to playing in the middle of the defense. Gabe Powers has been trained at the position his whole life, and Clemson has taken full notice.
Powers, a 6-4, 215-pound linebacker from Marysville (OH), has picked up major offers early on in his recruitment. The 2022 prospect currently holds offers from Ohio State, Florida State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, and Stanford. Clemson looks to be offering the 2022 linebacker very soon, and TigerNet caught up with Powers to discuss what a Clemson offer would mean for his recruitment.
