One of Ohio State’s most highly touted commits in the 2022 class was among the 50-plus recruiting visitors last weekend for the Penn State game.
In-state acker Gabe Powers, who is in the midst of an undefeated season for Marysville, appreciated the primetime atmosphere when he saw his future collegiate team take down the Nittany Lions 33-24. It was the second time Powers has attended an Ohio State game this fall.
“It was really good. It was amazing, really, there were a ton of people,” Powers told
Eleven Warriors this week. “Just getting back around the (other recruits) and future teammates and stuff like that. Seeing people who are about to commit or would like to commit, it was really good getting around everyone and hang out with them.
“You see them running out of the tunnel, the smoke and the fans going crazy. It definitely gets you very excited to get there.”
Powers interacted with plenty of fellow recruits on the visit and said he especially focused on recruiting 2023 offensive line target Luke Montgomery, mostly due to the friendship Powers and Montgomery have built over the years.
The 6-foot-4, 230-pound linebacker says he talks almost every day to Ryan Day and lauds his relationship with linebackers coach Al Washington. The relationships he’s built with the coaching staff have only reaffirmed his commitment to the Buckeyes.
“When you get there and it feels like home, it’s very reassuring,” Powers said.
Just sayin': Keep working on those other recruits....
