As soon as Powers received an offer from Ohio State in November 2019, when he became just the second 2022 recruit from the state of Ohio to earn an offer from the Buckeyes, it felt like only a matter of time before the Marysville High School star would become a Buckeye. After taking eight-and-a-half months to mull things over from there, Powers became the fourth commitment in Ohio State’s recruiting class of 2022 on Aug. 1, 2020, and followed through on that commitment by submitting his National Letter of Intent to the Buckeyes on the final day of the early signing period.
