Gabe Powers took a 'huge jump' in 2023 per Jim Knowles as the Ohio native prepares to be the top option off the bench behind Cody Simon at Mike linebacker in 2024.
Gabe Powers has made a habit of flying under the radar thus far in his Ohio State career. That trend is continuing into 2024.
“I've definitely developed mentally, that part of the game,” Powers said. “I think I still need to work on, formations-wise, plays on offense. It's a huge part of linebacker. A lot of people think linebackers just set the defense and play, but you also have to know a lot about what the offense is gonna do and be the quarterback of the defense.”
Powers came out of high school in Marysville, Ohio with plenty of pedigree in his own right, rated the No. 101 prospect and No. 8 linebacker in the class of 2022. He played in the Under Armor All-American Game as a senior. Powers admitted he underestimated just how long it would take to flip that switch at the end of his prep career.
