Currently, the Buckeyes hold the decided Crystal Ball advantage, with all 12 predictions pointing at Ohio State. Powell (6-2 182) is a dual-threat quarterback for his Permian High School team, but is rated as the No. 38 recruit in the 2019 class per the 247Sports Composite. He is also listed as the No. 449 player overall.
This impressive number spans four Ohio State head coaches, and is more than twice as many as Michigan has managed in the same time frame.
