Ohio State freshman linebacker Gabe Powers sheds black stripe

Black stripe alert! Freshman linebacker Gabe Powers lost his black stripe and was officially welcomed to the brotherhood on Tuesday.

Powers came to Ohio State as a four-star recruit from Marysville High School just about 30 minutes outside of Columbus. He was the No. 8 linebacker in the 2022 class according to the 247Sports composite. Powers did not see any action on the defensive side of the ball this season, but did get a few snaps on special teams during blowouts against Toledo and Wisconsin.
