*He is the second Butler offensive lineman to commit to the Sooners in two years, along with current sophomore offensive lineman Quinn Mittermeier and the third overall - Sherrone Moore in 2006.

*Oklahoma has 14 junior college offensive line commitments since the 2002 class and five of them have come from the Kansas junior college ranks with Moore, Mittermeier, and Powers joining Phil Loadholt and Brandon Walker.

*He is a product of Wichita (Kan.) Kapun Mt. Carmel, he is the first product of the school to commit to the Sooners and is the first Wichita product to sign with the Sooners since Jordan Phillips in 2011. He joins Wichita Sooners likes Phillips, Blake Bell, Geneo Grissom, and Jaydan Bird.

*With his new 5.7 rating he is the highest rated Sooner offensive lineman in the class.

*An interesting side note, as mentioned, he marks 14 junior college offensive line commitments for the Sooners since 2002. In that time the Sooners have signed 41 players total from the junior college ranks - says something about the position's perceived viability in the junior college ranks.

*I will work on some more to have them coming.
