Update.......

Second down: Tyvis Powell

The Buckeyes worked almost exclusively out of the nickel package on defense, which wasn't all that surprising because of the veteran experience returning in the secondary and also because Meyer indicated that personnel group would be featured plenty against early-season opponents this fall.

But one member of that group was something of a head-turner, with Powell emerging as a first-day contributor to the starting unit at the Star position after redshirting his freshman season.

The cornerback is an intriguing option given his length at 6-foot-3, and he moved well and didn't look overwhelmed in coverage despite not playing last fall. There is more competition coming in the defensive backfield from the incoming class, but last year's apparently has more to offer as well.

Tyvis Powell is one DB that continues to impress the coaches. Still out there with the first team. Pittsburgh Brown also showing good stuff.

I was very impressed with Tyvis Powell today. It's easy to forget about kids from past recruiting with all the excitement from the present

After what I saw today, I don't think it is a secret why he is going to be in contention for the starting Star spot.

Powell, however, seemed to be playing with a ton of confidence and was hitting people hard/with authority on the first full pads practice.

Bonus: Defensive Back Tyvis Powell. Tyvis Powell is the number one star right now for the Buckeye defense, but the competition isn't what it will be come the fall. His prime competition is Devan Bogard, who is out for the spring. Powell needs to close strong so that he doesn't give the coaches reason to long for Bogard, or the incoming Vonn Bell.

Update.....

Eyebrows were raised when redshirt freshman Tyvis Powell lined up as the nickel cornerback with the first team early in Ohio Stateâ€™s spring practices.

Itâ€™s unusual for a player who hasnâ€™t taken a snap in a game to make that kind of jump. Urban Meyer made it clear yesterday that Powellâ€™s ascension has had staying power.

â€œHe was redshirted last year, and he wasnâ€™t redshirted like we were saving himâ€ to preserve eligibility, Meyer said of the rangy 6-foot-3, 201-pounder from Bedford, Ohio. â€œWe redshirted him because he wasnâ€™t good enough.â€

â€œAcademically, heâ€™s really doing well. That young man is a better young man than he was a year ago as far as handling his business. Heâ€™s a guy off the top of my head who â€” I wouldnâ€™t say shocked me â€” but Iâ™m very glad heâ€™s a Buckeye.â€

* Withers said Tyvis Powell had a very good spring and he needed it with Vonn Bell coming in the summer.

CB Tyvis Powell (6-3, 201, rFr.)

It seems to odd to think a kid like Powell needed a big spring after spending his first season as a redshirt, but that was exactly the case for the second-year defensive back out of Bedford. With 5-star safety Vonn Bell on his way this summer, Powell emerged as one of the true surprises of the spring for Luke Fickell and the defense. He spent the entire spring playing Star (nickel back) with the first string defense and he looked rather comfortable at the new position. As a former cornerback, Powell has a unique blend of size, speed and coverage ability that just might make him one of the best 11 players on the defense.

Football
Most Important Buckeyes: No. 20
By Tony Gerdeman

COLUMBUS, Ohio â€” While he has yet to play in an actual game for the Buckeyes, nickel back Tyvis Powell should figure in prominently for Ohio State this season.

A redshirt freshman from Bedford, Ohio, Powell used a strong offseason performance to land the starting job at star to open the spring. He then performed well against the pass, and showed a knack for big hits in run support throughout the spring. However, just because he has the job now, doesn't mean he won't have to work to keep it once camp opens.

Listed at 6-foot-3 and 201 pounds, Powell is a cornerback in a safety's body, and he will also be asked to play like a linebacker. The Ohio State defense figures to play extra defensive backs quite a bit this season due to the spread offenses that they'll face, and a strong year from Powell would go a long way towards a strong year from the entire Buckeye defense.

What Makes Him Important

The Ohio State defense has roughly nine spread offenses on the schedule this season, so a base 4-3 defense isn't always going to work. In fact, more often than not, the star could be in the starting lineup instead of a strongside linebacker.

Last season, safety Orhian Johnson started five games at star, and the year before Tyler Moeller started 10 games at star. Clearly, this is a key position that will be counted on to produce.

Powell spent his first season at Ohio State redshirting at cornerback, so the coaches have high hopes for his coverage abilities. However, his size gives those same coaches confidence that he won't be overpowered against the run. The ability to succeed in both pass defense and run defense is what makes Powell an ideal candidate for this position.
