Ohio State football’s transfer linebacker has found a new home: Buckeye Breakfast….

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Another former member of the Ohio State football team has found a new home, taking him out of the Big Ten.

Gabe Powers was the first player the Buckeyes lost to the transfer portal this winter doing so after spending three seasons stuck in a reserve linebacker role. In three seasons, Powers played 50 snaps, recording 24 tackles, a pass breakup and a pick-six. Even though he never carved out a role on defense, his presence is missed on special teams after deciding he wouldn’t remain with the team despite entering the portal

Now the former four-star recruit is headed to Kansas State as he heads to the Big 12 with two years of eligibility left.

Powers is the second former OSU player to find a new home at the Power 4 level with wide receiver Jayden Ballard heading to Wisconsin to play for Luke Fickell.

Ohio State announced its players of the game following a 42-17 win over Tennesse in the College Football Playoff with two players on both sides of the ball earning the honor.

Will Howard completed 24 of 29 passes for 311 yards and two touchdowns plus another 37 yards rushing yards to once again earn the honor on offense. He’s joined by Jeremiah Smith who was on the receiving end of six of those completions for 103 yards and both scores.

Defensively, Jack Sawyer and J.T. Tuimoloau shared the honor. The two combined for 13 tackles, four tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, three pass breakups and 14 pressures.
