Guys, I caught up with another visitor from UC's game against Kennesaw State on Saturday, 2024 safety Reggie Powers. He's still unranked right now because I know Rivals analysts really haven't seen him yet. But I expect him to be a three-star player once that happens. He's got eight offers right now, though none of them very notable.
UC offered Powers in May and this was his fourth visit to Clifton. He also visited in June for camp, for a spring practice in early April and went to a game last fall. He made the trip to UC last weekend with his dad and another teammate and said he's really been impressed by what he's seen and heard. This quote might be the most telling: "That’s the school giving me the most love so far." Powers also has two step-brothers who live in Cincinnati, which makes the Bearcats even more appealing.
This one has been a combination of assistant coach Colin Hitschler and recently, a bit more from defensive coordinator Mike Tressel. Powers said he and Hitschler have a good relationship and talk regularly, weekly at the least, but usually more than that. But what Powers said he especially loved about his last visit was getting a text after the game from coach Luke Fickell, thanking him for visiting. Powers said he was also impressed that all the coaches he talked to before and after the gamer at UC knew his name.
There's three visits coming, but none of those have offered yet. On Sept. 24, he'll be at Ohio State for a gameday visit, Oct. 8 at Pittsburgh and Oct. 15 at Tennessee. I'm not sure if any of those three will offer, but there's interest.
Right now, UC is the overwhelming favorite, if it decides it's all in on Powers. But I'm not sure that's the case just yet. We'll see what other interest comes this fall, as Powers said he's in no hurry to hurry his recruitment along. But again, if the Bearcats want him enough, I don't think they'll have to push that hard.
Full story coming.
