The tempo-setter of the defense and brings a positive energy to the defensive side of the ball and keeps his teammates loose and focused on the task. A fun-loving young man who wears his emotions on his sleeve. Excels playing deep and is aggressive in run support. Knack for making big plays in big games. In 2014, he was MVP against Oregon in national championship game andWEAKNESSES: Does not possess ideal acceleration and may struggle facing top-notch NFL receivers. Sometime appears too long limbed and slow to get out of breaks. A hard worker and requires a lot from himself, but taking better angles to the football is imperative at the next level. His cushion closes fast, and he is forced to open his hips and lose positioning.COMPARES TO: Bradley McDougald, Buccaneers - McDougald almost played with Powell at Ohio State. He committed to Ohio State before playing his college career at Kansas. The players are similar in their size and abilities.IN OUR VIEW: Powell is a long, rangy safety who has all the qualities to be view as a prospect who can manage a long-term career in the NFL. http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/tyvis-powell?id=2555379 OVERVIEWPowell just seems to make big plays in big games. He intercepted Michigan's two-point attempt to win the rivalry game as a redshirt freshman in 2013, He picked off a Hail Mary attempt by Alabama in the 2014 college football semifinal, ensuring the Buckeyes could go on to win the championship ? where he won Defensive MVP honors against Oregon (game-high nine tackles, pass break-up). Then he intercepted yet another pass in Ohio State?s win over Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl. After that contest, Powell (who graduated in three and a half years) decided to take his game to the NFL. He played in all 14 games in that redshirt freshman season, starting five times (48 tackles, one interception). Earning the full-time starter spot in 2014, Powell made 76 tackles, two for loss, while intercepting four passes and breaking up four others. His play as a junior merited honorable mention All-Big Ten honors from coaches and media, as he led the Buckeyes with three interceptions and made 71 tackles on the year.
